Remember last year over Spring Break when I was Curly Pig in the
Trial of the Big Bad Wolf? Well this year, over Spring Break, I helped out in the trial again... but this time, I was:
|
Me and opposing counsel, the defense |
The PROSECUTOR! That right, I represented the state of Columbia in its trial against the Big Bad Wolf for eating two of the three little pigs!
I had so much fun! The whole skit-trial was ad lib. I got to be super dramatic during my opening and closing statements too. So fun!

the Judge |
We did four skits for classes of fourth graders in the community. The classes acted as the jury for the trial. They voted overwhelmingly guilty (can you blame them? I was a convincing prosecutor!). They were never unanimous though... we had a hung jury, I guess. The whole day exposed the kids to a trial and was designed to give them exposure to the Constitution.
It was a really fun way to earn pro-bono hours too!
After the "trial" the kids got to have cookies and milk. After they left, I found some notes the kids had drawn during the trial. I love the detailed jury notes! I also like the drawing... I'm not sure if one of those girls is supposed to be me?
It was really fun! I added some pictures to the old post (the link at the top of the page) from last year that the professional photographer took.
