About this activity

A teacher-led whole-class courtroom simulation where students serve as the jury to cross-examine claims, strip away bluster, and evaluate whether evidence is solid or flimsy.

What students learn

  • Trace and evaluate arguments and specific claims in informational texts
  • Distinguish claims supported by empirical reasons and evidence from those relying on opinion or bluster
  • Identify common argumentative flaws including anecdotal evidence, circular reasoning, and irrelevant facts
