Not only could they learn inside their classroom but also outside in the community. One of the pop- ular activities that students partici- pated in were mock trials. These trials helped students become more fa- miliar with the court system and the duties of lawyers and judges. To prepare for the trials, the students started preparing two months in ad- vance. This allowed time for them to study the scripts. Another realistic approach to learning was guest speakers. Stu- dents got to pick and arrange their own guest speakers, such as army recruiters and criminal law- yers. Junior, Col- leen Vander- zanden, stated “Having guest speakers in my psychology class helped me get a better perspec- tive on different professions.” Gaining new insights in government has better prepared me tor the future. —Michael Morales ocial Studies Designed by Yvonne Trujillo.
