Once Upon a Crime - ELA Debate Argument Unit
By Blooming Through High School
My students had so much fun doing this, they didn't want it to end! Four Disney villains are being brought to court with charges and your students will either prosecute or defend them in "court":
Ursula - The Little Mermaid: Fraud & Exploitation
Scar - The Lion King: Manslaughter & Environmental Crimes
Gaston - Beauty & The Beast: Attempted Murder & Inciting a Riot
Lady Tremaine - Cinderella: Emotional Abuse/Neglect & Exploitation
Assign your students to be prosecutors and defenders with their own custom files. Each team has their own responsibilities and will need to craft their argument well to win the judge & jury.
-Reinforce learning of claim, support, point of view and more!
- Students need to support their claims with facts from the movie. Perfect for an argumentative unit!
*Lesson has been adapted with extensive sentence stems and examples. Teacher made examples are also included. This is a scaled activity that all students can do without too much teacher intervention.
