Thoughts on the trial

I thought the trial was fun. It was different and required us to think in different ways. We weren’t just reciting facts from books that we’ve read, it required us to think about what the text meant. I just thought the whole idea was different and it was fun to actually get involved in something. It wasn’t just answering staight-up questions about specific facts in the book, but we had to analyze the content, prepare questions to prove our point, and prepare yourself for questions you expected the cross-examiner to ask. And i also think it was fun because we were competing against classmates and were driven to do our best. But you could definately tell some people (Chris Jones…) were less driven than others. It was a pleasant change from the every day, week-for-week English stuff we normally do. I thought it was a great project and actually enjoyed it.
