  1. I think that last night's mock trial went really well. It was a lot of fun apart from the stress about the presentation itself. It was a good and fun project to work on, but I feel like it was also a really long project to work on. I also think that everybody who presented yesterday did a really good job!

  2. I think that last night went really well. It was fun to present as a person from Greek Mythology. It was also really fun to do a presentation as if we were in an actual courtroom. I hope we get to do more presentations like this because it was cool learning about Greek Mythology in English class. I also thought that everybody did a great job. :)

  3. The Mock Trial Went Decently For Me, I did make a few mistakes but everyone did it. It was very stressful and many times I Was skipping a syllable on one of my words for I was that stressed. Another Thing I Personally Disliked/Want-changed was the spontaneous questions which caught people in a difficult situation. Without That It was an amazing project which was different than all of my other projects.

  4. Last night was super fun. I had a great time. It was really fun to pretend like we were in a courtroom and I think the presentations went well. I really loved being Hermes and I don't think I would of preferred being any other character. Two of my favorite parts were making the Hermes costume and staff and presenting. In the end Ulysses' was declared innocent! I hope we do more fun projects like this one in the future.

  5. Last night was fun. I had a good time seeing everyones costumes and everyone speeches. I liked how the night was planned and how it went. The only i didnt like was how it was pretty late and we had school the next day but also I (and many more people) had to stay after school so we at school from 7am to like 9pm but it was still fun. My day didnt end very good because i lost my phone! But today we found it in the driveway under the snow!! But other than that it was a really fun night and I loved it!!

  6. I think last night’s mock trial went very well. Besides the stress and nervousness, it was really fun to see everyone dressed up as their character and see their point of view. It was also very nice to hear their speeches and some of the answers to the questions asked were so funny. I found that quite amusing. To me, I think everything went really smoothly and everyone presented really well!

  7. think it was fun but there were a huge issues aka my voice the whole crowed thought it was on purpose even my mom thought it was part of Poseidon and i feel like we had much more people who were for him not getting punished it doesn't help that Noah wasn't there

  9. I kind of liked the Moch Trial, but in some cases it was a little hard. It loved staying in school 2:25 to 8:10 (sarcasm). Ok maybe it was a little boring after the 3 hours of work, we didn’t have that much to do after finishing the decorations as the set up. But obviously a bonus of staying after school was the 11 pizza slices I had (and 3 plates). I know people think I’m fat after I say that, they probably thought that about me before I said that, but I was just getting “into character” to be the fat god Aeolus. In all it was a pretty fun experience but I will say it was a little stressful preparing for the speech. I scrambled mine up and it was in no order, but I was one of the only people who only glanced at their page 2 or 3 times and I answered the question that “Zeus” gave me immediately so I’m proud of myself.

  10. Mock trial
    I had so much fun at the trial. Nobody (besides mr. Katz) knew how organized it all would have gone. I have to say I was pretty nervous when I was saying my speech. The entire project was really thought threw even if Ulysses didn't come. I heard from some of the jury's that everyone wanted to put innocent but someone made a mistake. The cake that was there amazing too. Im very excited for our next project.

  11. Last night we had our mock trial. I found it very fun and i learned a lot about the characters, especially mine, Circe. This was a very fun experience and i found that it entertained me. The only part i did not like was when we had to dress up as our characters, that was very humiliating. Overall, I think that this project was good.

  13. I really liked the mock trial. I thought it was fun to dress up and to have a jury. I would have liked to have done it during class time or lunch. I found it a little tiring to sit for 1 hour and a half. And most of us had tests tomorrow. But other than that I had a really good time.

  14. I thought that the mock trial was a little fun. There was some work to do before the trial, and I was nervous at some times, but getting over the trial was a relief. It was a little hard to finish my essay, but making my costume was fun. It was also nice to see everyone else’s costumes. I think that the trial was good.

  15. I really liked the Mock Trial and find I did good. I liked seeing everyone's costume and I liked all the performances. I also liked planning the food because I heard people liked it. I think that I learned about different characters and so did the parents. My parents also learnt a lot and they want to read the book. Thank you for reading!

  16. The mock trial was very stressful but lots of fun. Dressing up and acting like Telemachus was an awesome experience because it was so interesting to see everyone dress up as their characters and give the opinion they think their character would give. I think the concept of the project was really interesting and super fun, it was a great experience to pretend like was am in court.

  17. The Mock Trial was super fun! It was so fun because I've always found it fun to speak in front of people! It's also because I talk a lot : ) I really like dressing up, and "preforming" in front of people. My dad, my mother, and I really learnt a lot from this project!

    1. I agree it was an awesome learning experience and I was really nervous 😬 not knowing what questions I would be asked. It was just like being on trial....which I hope to never be!

  19. I enjoyed everything about the mock trial from preparing my speech, to finding a costume for King Agamemnon, to setting up the afternoon of the trial and finally performing for the parents, the jury and the council. It was a lot of fun to see all of my classmates get into character and see the costumes they had come up with. I think this activity was really different from other activities I have done in school and was a really cool and original way to complete our unit on the novel. My parents were really proud of me and were impressed with how organized everything was, the originality of the activity, as well as how everyone had a different character. The most stressful part for me was the anticipation of what questions the council would ask me but I guess that is why lawyers prepare their defendants and their witnesses before an actual trial. #mocktrial#kingagamemnonrocks#innocentuntilprovenguilty

  20. I did not enjoy the mock trial because i do not like going up in front of crowds and speaking. I especially didn’t like the fact that the jury was asking questions because it made me even more nervous because i thought i wouldn’t know the answer. And i didn’t really like my costume and i thought it looked bad so i wasn’t very confident before doing my part and reading it.
