Students study primary sources related to ten historical figures (plus Boxers of China) then respond through discussion, writing, or taking part in mock trials. Each unit has a background article with questions for critical thought followed by 59 documents. A guide section summarizes each document and explains its significance. The final section has legal forms, handouts, and fill-in sheets for conducting mock trials. Nine units focus on Europeans like Luther, Cromwell, Peter the Great, Peel, and Pankhurst. Two (Pancho Villa, Boxers) fall outside Europe. Grades 912, advanced 78. Resources. JWW221.
