We the People Mock Hearings!

The other day my classmates and I did a We the People Mock hearing trial in order to move on to Georgetown law. The point of the competition is to write an essay based on one of the units in the "We the People" book Ms. Trenkle gave us. I worked with Anna, Ashley, Ayanna and Terrina. We did a very good job on our essay. Unfortunately, our group didn't make it to the Georgetown Law competition. After our group's trial, Mr. Justin gave us a little feedback. I'm not going to go into deep details, but overall he say we did a great job. He also said our whole grade knows more than the average American. In my opinion, the Mock Hearings was a blast! Even though the tough part was the actual essay writing process. My group did very well with the whole working together. The first day we got the assignment my group immediately broke it down. We assigned each other pieces of research and paragraphs to do in order to get the work straight. In conclusion, I had a great time with this assignment and I think everyone else did as well. =)
