Classes are taught in a multi-age format. The instructor is very confortable working with multi-age groups.
This is a two-day-per-week class, but you can still participate if you can only attend one day. Please make a note in the “shopping cart” when registering for the class and also let Amy know so she can get your charges set up correctly.

Does your high school student enjoy "hands on learning" with projects and real life application?
Does your student have an interest in drama or debate?
Join the award-winning EE Mock Trial team as we explore the American Legal System by participating as an attorney and/or witness in a criminal case. Looks great on college applications as an extracurricular activity! This event is sponsored by the Dallas Bar Association and more details can be learned here:
http://www.dallasbar.org/mocktrial
http://www.extraed.net/mock_trial_team
On February 2nd our team will compete in Region VI in Huntsville, Texas. We will present a criminal case as prosecution and defendant - so both sides of the case are examined as we prepare for the competition. This is a six week commitment, but could extend through early March if the team advances to the State Meet as our team did last year.
PARTICIPATION DETAILS
Team workshops will be held at Extraordinary Education to prepare for the event. Weekly meetings will take place on Thursday evenings. Team meetings will also take place on certain Fridays, and other times may be arranged when our team is formed. Not all meetings are mandatory, but team members must be committed to set aside time to focus on preparation for the event and time to work via phone or internet with their partners (attorney/witness).
This team is set up as a “co-op” activity. This means that there is a facility fee and contest & materials fee, but no tuition is charged. Parents are expected to pitch in to help in some way. This may include helping with with supervision, transportation, food, materials, etc. or with actual team prep.
Facility Fee: $25/student
Contest & Materials Fee: $50/student
State Contest Fee: TBD (if team advances to State)
Our Mock Trial team is looking for at least three more members and a timer so please contact the team sponsor ASAP if your student is interested. (Contact information below.) Competing team members must be high school age, but younger students may participate on a scrimmage team and learn skills in preparation for being on the team in the future.
Please share this email with friends who may be interested!
