I loved that it made kids slow down and think before talking and that they had to have EVIDENCE! Not just letting their passion take them off the rails.

BRIA • Bill of Rights in Action
Topical. Timely.
Texts and application activities.
U.S. and world history. Government and current events.
Your lessons are the most clear, concise and insightful explanations of complex historical events and trends that I've seen anywhere! Textbooks seem to over simplify. . . or give a laundry list of dull detail. Your lessons tackle fascinating subjects and are exactly on target. I can't thank you enough!

Mock Trial
A fictional criminal case. Real arguments.
Student attorneys, witnesses, bailiffs, and clerks.
Los Angeles County and California state competitions.
Mock Trial was the best experience I had in school, period. I made friends I still have after a decade, gained confidence in myself, and learned communication skills I still use today.
I came away with better critical thinking and writing skills, and have a better understanding of how our justice system works.
