THIS CLASS MEETS VIA ZOOM ON THURSDAYS AT 2:00

Fairy Tales on Trial introduces elementary students to the legal system and invites them to pass judgment on the behaviors of certain characters in well-known fairy tales.  This class requires reading a fairy tale with a more critical lens, i.e., did Goldie Locks trespass and if so, what penalties might she face.  Through role-play, students are given the opportunity to simulate a trial by crafting legal arguments, interviewing witnesses, and serving as a judge or member of a jury.  This class aims to stimulate your child’s creativity and develop critical thinking.  Students will also make connections to standards and values in the real world.
