Reminder and TPOL

Witness profiles are due Tuesday, May 29. Remember, #5 is not required for Tuesday. It will be due on a later day. On Tuesday we will also finalize in class the witness and discovery list.

See important documents for a copy of the witness profile requirements. It is labeled: "mocktrial_witnessprofile." I've included the "Jana's top 5 sources" handout in the same file, under "mocktrail_sources."

I have also included 2 documents related to the TPOLs. The week before TPOLs will be devoted to TPOL prep.

I hope everyone is enjoying (or has enjoyed) their long weekend.

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

DUE WED 5/23 I.F. Stone Chapter 4

DUE WED 5/23 I.F. Stone Chapter 4

This is class work for Tuesday, but if you don’t finish all of it in class I will accept it on Wed 5/23. Be prepared to discuss this with your team.

DO NOT POST THIS ON YOUR BLOG. TYPE IT AND PRINT IT OUT. You will want to keep all of your notes from this point on as a secret from the other team.

Heading

• Don’t forget your heading, with the usual information.
• In the heading indicate what team you are on – prosecution, defense, or jury
• In the heading indicate your role on the team – attorney, second chair, or witness

Read Stone Chapter 4. And answer the following questions:

Don't get hung up on sections that are confusing. Skim and read what you can get a handle on. Protagoras is the most important.

1. Of the people mentioned in this chapter choose one or two that would make good witnesses for your side or the opposition.

2. For each person that you chose write a sentence explaining whose side he would represent and why this person would be good for that side. Make a list of details/evidence from the reading that helps explain your view.

3. Find a direct quote that is at least one sentence long that you might want to present as evidence (or that you think the opposition might present as evidence)

Reminder - due TUE 5/22

Socrates profiles are due Tuesday May 22.
