We're going to court!

Students finished reading The Outsiders, and now it's time for our culminating project for the novel. Instead of a final written assessment, we will be holding a mock trial for Johnny and Ponyboy based on the novel.

Students have been divided up and assigned specific roles for the trial. Below are the roles, along with the assignments and rubrics for each.

All assignments are due on the day of the trial (Wednesday, February 27, 2013) and will be graded twice - once for Reading and once for Language Arts.
