DUE THR 5/23/07 Classwork and Homework

DUE THR 5/23/07 Classwork and Homework

DO NOT POST ANY TRIAL ASSIGNMENTS. TYPE AND PRINT OUT. You will want to keep all of your notes from this point on as a secret from the other team.

Attorneys and Second Chairs:

CLASSWORK/HOMEWORK

Prep for debate by writing a rough draft of opening and closing statements for the practice trial – remember, your opening statement only has to be a couple of minutes, but the opening statement for the actual trial has to be 5 minutes.

Start working on direct and cross examination questions for your witness and the opposition’s witness.

Witnesses, Research Assistants, and Jurors:

CLASSWORK

Read the first half of your assigned Stone readings (that’s about 4-8 pages based on the length of your particular chapter) and take notes – be prepared to summarize the main idea(s) of your section for students on your team who read another selection. Come to class with notes that include interesting details that your side or the opposition’s side can use.

HOWEWORK:

Work on Witness Profiles, due Tuesday, 5/29

Mr. Jana,

PLEASE dont let me forget to talk to you about my witness thing. I can't do Socrates again.

Kit,

No you should not do Socrates again. That would not be a good use of time. Talk to the attorney and second chair of your team to determine what the best use of your time would be.

I suggest doing a profile for a witness who will be on the opposition's side - someone you know for sure will be on the witness stand, like Alcibiades. I am open to other suggestions as long as everyone on your team is on board with it.
