The educator will need an open area at the front of the classroom to use as a “stage” and a desk or table for program materials. During the mock trial portion of the program, participating students will bring up their own chairs for the courtroom set-up. If you are using a space other than your classroom, we will need a table at the front of the room and 9 chairs for students. We encourage students to wear nametags to help our educators
actively engage them in activities. |

I can define and describe government in terms of the people and groups who apply and enforce rules and laws.
I can explain the process of how a bill becomes a law in Connecticut. I can describe the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democratic society. |

Students explore Connecticut’s executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government to discover who makes the rules in Connecticut. To better understand the role of each branch, students elect a governor from their class, debate a bill, and hold a mock trial (student reading required). Through role-playing and active participation, students learn the purpose of rules and laws, explore the separation of powers, and discover the rights and responsibilities of individuals.
