Trial of Napoleon Bonaparte
Roles:
Napoleon Bonaparte
2 Defense Attorneys
2 Prosecuting Attorneys
5 Jury Members
3 Witnesses
5 Court Room Journalists
Napoleon Bonaparte: Must create a statement to read while you are on the stand and
be prepared to answer questions asked by the attorneys.
3 Witnesses: You must get together and decide which of you will be a soldier in
Napoleon’s army, which one of you will be an aristocrat and which one of you will be a woman
living in Napoleon’s Empire. Each one of you should be familiar with the way each of these
witnesses would feel toward Napoleon and his empire and be prepared to answer questions on
the stand.
Attorneys: You must get together and decide which one of you will write an opening
statement and which one of you will write the closing statement. You will also be responsible for
coming up with questions for Napoleon and the other witnesses who will take the stand.
Jury Members: Come to the trial familiar with the life and reign of Napoleon and be
ready to take notes as the trial takes place. When the trial is over you will be responsible for
getting together to produce a verdict (2 pages) which will contain a decision regarding Napoleon’s
fate as well as reasons and justification for your decision.
Courtroom Journalists: Come to the trial familiar with the life and reign of Napoleon and
be ready to take notes as the trial takes place. When the trial is over and the verdict has been
read, each of you will be responsible for writing a newspaper article (1 ½ pages) detailing the trial
and the outcome. Your article must show me that you researched Napoleon’s life and that you
were attentive during the trial
The trial will take place on Wednesday September 26, 2007 and
Thursday September 27, 2007. Napoleon, the Attorneys, and the Witnesses
will have to do most of their work this week, although everyone will be doing
research to familiarize themselves with the life and reign of Napoleon. I will leave
10 minutes at the end of class on Thursday for the jury to deliberate and give an
initial verdict. On Thursday night the jury will write a more comprehensive verdict
as outlined above and the courtroom journalists will write their articles. Everyone
will have to hand in their notes/statements/questions/verdicts/articles on Friday
September 28, 2007. You will be graded on participation if you are Napoleon, an
Attorney or a Witness (as well as the notes you hand in) and graded on your
verdict and articles if you are a Jury Member or Courtroom Journalist. Each
person will receive an individual grade on a scale of A to F. You will then take
the test on Friday September 28, 2007.
