Who Wrote Shakespeare's Plays?

Step 1.
Preparation.
First of all, search the Internet for possible sources of mock trial and other trial preparation information. Prepare for the roles of judges, attorneys (defense and prosecution), jury members, witnesses, and the "defendant" himself. Choose witnesses and the ''defendant" in advance. 
Gain familiarity with both sides of the Shakespearean authorship controversy.
While examining the subject matter answer the following questions:
1. Whose hand held the quill?
2. Did Shakespeare write all the plays attributed to him?
3. Where did Shakespeare get his ideas? 
3. Why are there questions about his authorship?
7. How did Shakespeare change the plots of the stories he used?
8. To whom is Shakespeare indebted as an author and why?
9. What are some of the issues both scholars and critics have debated about Shakespeare?
10. Who are the purported 'real' authors, and what are they supposed to have written?

Step 2
Divide into two groups: one working for the prosecution, one for the defense. 
Gather evidence for your party, review any plays or scenes to be introduced as evidence during the mock trial. Report the proceedings through writing, sketching, or video for news media.
