The Trial of Johnny Cade

150+ intermediate students at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School have been studying the novel The Outsiders for the past four weeks. The students have enjoyed the novel immensely. Their energy and passion for the book has inspired our expansive and epic culminating assignment “The Trial of Johnny Cade”. Even though Johnny Cade is a fictional character from S.E. Hinton's novel, we are going to make this as real as possible. It requires everyone to "get into role". Students will become the witnesses, the barristers, the solicitors, judge, jury, social media, the press, forensic teams and sketch artists. Students will have just over a week to prepare themselves. With the guidance, knowledge and experience of community members, intermediate teachers
and high school teachers, students will immerse themselves into the roles. They will work with community artists, police officers, lawyers. They will find themselves in the high school science labs, law classes and art studios. The rigorous training and collaboration will make the event seem a reality.

PHOTOGRAPHER GETS OUT OF HAND!
Yesterday our press went out to ask the east side some important questions about their newspaper. Nobody was expecting answers but we shockingly got replies! We asked Rachael Vanderscheer and Shannon Licharson if they knew what an eye popping caption is, and Licharson’s response was “What do you mean?” Well that is a pretty self-explanatory question. Once Licharson understood, she said “Definitely, we need to find the right story.” Vanderscheer comments “Sometimes.” The shocking part is, after we were done Vanderscheer went out of hand and hugged the press from the side. She made a creepy noise and said “See ya stranger.” Now everyone is wondering if there are crazy people on this newspaper team. Can Vanderscheer cover up what happened on February 28, 2013?
