Mock Trial Review Game
Jigsaw Learning
______________
Think of a specific fact covered in
the unit. Have students ask
questions to discover the fact, no
questions can be repeated and
they must be in the form of yes or
no answers. Give every student
the opportunity to ask a question.
This improves questioning skills
and reviews all concepts
discussed throughout the unit.
Have students read about a
specific portion of a topic,
then teach what they have
learned to other members of
the class. Each member will
add to the discussion until all
the required information is
covered. This can be done in
small groups or as a class.
Assign students court room roles
(judge, jury, defendant etc.). Have
each student create 3 review questions
(1 hard one). The prosecution will ask
the defendant a few of these
questions. If they can answer correctly
and to the satisfaction of the jury then
they are not guilty. If not, then they
are guilty of not being ready for the
test- the sentence is to study more.
Rotate roles.
