- What are the names of the people who work in court?
- What do people do who work in courtrooms?
- Brainstorm with a partner and compare with another group.
Discuss with partner:
Do Georgian courtrooms have similarities to American courtrooms?
Create a Ven diagram with a partner comparing similarities/differences.
Compare your results and diagrams with another group.
Activity Idea (higher levels):
A mock trial is an engaging way for students to learn about courtrooms. Students take the roles of judge, jury, witness, lawyer and other court personnel for a mini-trial where witnesses give testimony and lawyers ask questions of the witness and the jury eventually makes a decision based on the evidence. Giving each student a role in the activity is a motivating factor towards participation.
