Abstract
This Big iDeas project attempts to single-out and correct he gap between the expectations of employers and the reality of public education curriculum — specifically, the missing component of verbal communication skills development. We will tackle the issue first-hand and develop oral communication skills in current Dallas ISD high school students through an after-school Mock Trial program at two locations: Woodrow Wilson High School and Hillcrest High School. Every moment of this project will be videoed so that a multimedia presentation or documentary can be created.
