The victim was found frozen to death in his restaurant’s refrigerator with the word “killer” spelled out in bacon. Who really killed him? The defendent, his business partner who found out that the victim has been embezzling from their restaurant or the loan shark who’s been stalking the victims for months?

Just another day at Mock Trial! Do you have a high schooler who’s interested in law, debating, acting, and the opportunity to learn from and present a case to real-life attorneys and judges from the KS Bar Association?

Check us out! We love to have fun and debate. We welcome guests anytime!

Some things young people need to have a great class discussion:
1. A thought-provoking prompt that can cause disagreement or cognitive dissonance
2. Wait-time
3. Opportunities to write down their thoughts before verbalizing
4. Encouragement while also being challenged

There are numerous excellent discussions to be found on effective questioning, especially in relation to the types of questions to ask, but here is a visual representation to pin on your wall of the cornerstones of effective questioning.
