Lord of the Flies

"The 10th circuit court of MMS is now in session." The people of MMS vs Ralph, Jack, and Roger on counts of manslaughter. Ms. Gray's eighth grade classes had to write defense or prosecution arguments for the characters of the book Lord of the Flies. For this simulation Ms Corriveau turned the library into a court room and a number of staff members stepped up to be jury members. The kids used their point and counterpoint argument skills to make the case for their clients.
