Socials 10-2, 10-4: Riel Mock Trial: Day One (of Two)

Today we set up the mock trial and learned some basics about how a criminal trial works. Next, I detailed some of the things to look out for in the Crown's case and that of the Defence. I thought each class did a good job with their reading. Next class we will review the Crown's case and then move on to the witnesses for the Defence. I heard some good reading on Day One, but the biggest reaction and thus the Academy Award would have to go out to Jamie, thus far.
