I don’t know how to start it >.<

Depends on what it is… maybe I could help?

Well, we’re doing a mock trial in English. I just dunno how to start it.. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury…”

Idk?!

Well, what’s the topic on?! Come on here Rachel, I need to know at least THAT much. :P

Okay, okay. We’re just finished Of Mice and Men, so pretty much we’re having a murder trial for George, and I’m the defense attorney. We’re saying that George told Curley to kill Lennie.. Or something. The other members of the defense team came up with that. fjdkalsfjklds jkl >.<

I suggest starting with a question, like: ‘Who was the real victim here? Was it Lennie and only Lennie? Or was George a victim too?’

that was a really bad example. >.< Anyway, that’s what I sugget anyway. :P

Okay, ummm…….yeah………I’m a junior, 17, in CP English 3, I should know this………I don’t know.  No one ever taught me! Listen, if I am in CP English 3, most likely you’ll make it without knowing how to start an opening statement.  Look at how well I’m doing! :)

Thanks Emily, I might go along with that. And thank-you junior that I don’t know, I suppose I’ll churn out something with Emily’s advice. That’s funny.. I asked a different junior friend of mine and he said that same thing. Hmm.

 Hey Rach… After “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury,” it might be a good idea to start painting the picture of George that you want them to see, an honest, hard-working guy who loved Lennie, looked after him, shared dreams and aspirations with him… and then mention the predicament that he’s in, and that the jury will see that the charges could not possibly be true… oops, I’d better stop, because I’m on the verge of writing it for you!  ;-)
