TGIF - Last one in January

Scholars:

Today we continued our trial preparation.  On Monday, you will need to submit the following:

Capote excerpt, annotated and read;

If you are directly examining a witness a TYPED list of each question you will ask that witness with page number references;

If you are a witness offered by our side, your attorney should send you questions over the weekend.  Accordingly, you should come to class with a TYPED list of answers that you have memorized;

Also, if you are presenting a witness, you must submit to me and your witness a TYPED list of questions that the other side may ask your witness on cross examination.

If you are an attorney responsible for cross examining a ninth grade witness, you must submit a TYPED list of potential cross examination questions for your witness(es).  Remember that virtually every question on cross examination should be leading.  Cross examination is no time for a fishing expedition.

You also must inform the person in charge (1st Reagan and Diana; 2nd Danielle; 4th Hasanthi; 6th JP; and 7th Kristie) exactly what you are planning to wear.  We will have no time at the beginning of class to don costumes.

After the trial, we will discuss all of the sources you have been reading and peruse the format for a synthesis AP essay.  On Monday, February 7th, you will write one.

On Tuesday, February 8th, you first reading assignment in 1984 is due - read and annotate the first 104 pages.

Have a great weekend and prepare, prepare, prepare!
