Trial of Johnny Cade

150+ intermediate students at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School have been studying the novel The Outsiders for the past four weeks. The students have enjoyed the novel immensely. Their energy and passion for the book has inspired our expansive and epic culminating assignment “The Trial of Johnny Cade”. Even though Johnny Cade is a fictional character from S.E. Hinton's novel, we are going to make this as real as possible. It requires everyone to "get into role". Students will become the witnesses, the barristers, the solicitors, judge, jury, social media, the press, forensic teams and sketch artists. Students will have just over a week to prepare themselves. With the guidance, knowledge and experience of community members, intermediate teachersand high school teachers, students will immerse themselves into the roles. They will work with community artists, police officers, lawyers. They will find themselves in the high school science labs, law classes and art studios. The rigorous training and collaboration will make the event seem a reality.

Defence is just fooling around

Seems like the defence isn't taking the mock mock trial very seriouslyHere is the defence that is working to prove Johnny guilty. Looks like all they are doing is fooling around and seeing if they can get a few laughs. I dont know about you but it looks like they are trying to get some of the jury to go on there side by doing crazy thing because they know that Johnny is guilty and they know the jury wont side with them so they do crazy things like they are doing in this picture tooken during the mock mock trial.
