I am looking for suggestions for novels that include a court case. This would be used to supplement our law unit, including the actual trial process. I need material appropriate for students in middle school. Thanks!
Nancy JInherit the Wind is not only a great play, it ties in interestingly with scvience as well. I have taught it a number of times with success. Twelve Angry men is harder to get a hold of, but also a good insight into the jury room.

I would recommend Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings. It has a detailed Juvenile Court scene at the end of the novel. No jury, but an excellent read for middle school students. It was a novel study for my district, but they decided to give it to 5th grade. It deals with some mature themes, and I was sad to have it removed from our list.

She is already hating teac...See MoreMy daughter is in her first yr. in a bad school. Also 6th grade. She has gotten 5 classes under control. But, nothing works with the one class. The kids won't stay in their seats, they're constantly talking and yelling, won't do any work. I don't know how to advise her. I never had a class this bad. Suggestions?
You don't say what subject she teaches and some are even harder than others but I'd say any school that has to have police sitting in classes is beyond easy answers - certainly from a chat board. If police are sometimes necessary in this school your daughter's fortunate that the class is just disruptive - clearly the presence of police suggests that violence is believed to be possible.
Does anybody in her building like bring there? Some people who work in inner city hospital emergency rooms have a strong sense of mission and that carries them through their difficult experiences.
I'm not surprised to hear she already hates teaching but happy that things are better. It's sad we have such schools but if you've been in the neighborhoods where these schools are you understand why the schools are so troubled. I admire your daughter in that she even thought she would like teaching in such a challenging school.
