Products
Individual Fairy Tale Evidence Log and Court Statement
Each student creates an evidence log with story details, fact/opinion/clue sorting, and a written or dictated court statement about who is responsible and what is fair. The product shows individual reading comprehension, point of view understanding, and use of story evidence.
Class Mock Trial Performance and Court Case Portfolio
Teams present a mock trial using shared evidence boards, witness questions, opening statements, and closing arguments built from each student’s research and notes. The portfolio and live defense show how the group used story evidence, compared perspectives, and reached a fair conclusion.
