Our class read the Junior Books Story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" critically and then our classroom court put Jack on trial for his actions at the top of beanstalk. Here are the photos of our trial.
Jack was accused of breaking and entering the Ogre's house, and theft of the Ogre's gold coins, the hen that laid the golden eggs, and the golden harp. He was also accused of murder, too. Jack had fabulous defense attorneys, and the State provided skilled prosecution lawyers.
