Testimonial:

"I used this lesson and simulation with my "Key of Liberty" class that I teach at our commonwealth. It was more helpful than anything else I initially turned to, because it has it all! Saved me a lot of time researching and brainstorming an activity myself. Everything is very organized and ready to print. This has all the information I needed to give a lecture, and of course the court case simulation and tips on how to go about it all. We had 9 kids in our class and it worked out great, but there are ways to adjust it for more kids or even down to 7 kids. Our group had so much fun playing their different roles, felt the pressure of a court case (in a good way, ha), and it will definitely be a memorable experience! They are already looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much for all the effort put into this!!" Shawnee H.
