mock trial directions

For the mock trial next week (Monday for A and E blocks, and Tuesday for C block), please disregard the instructions on the sheet (unless you're the chairperson/judge) and do the following instead:

Senators:  please draft two thoughtful questions for your witness that you will pose to him/her during the trial. Also, please come to class with the questions typed and with a 1-paragraph anticipated response to each question.  This is not the answer the the witness might actually give, but what you expect he/she might say, and should reveal your own understanding of the subject.

Witnesses (historical figures):  come prepared to answer questions that will be posed to you by a senator. You need to have enough knowledge of the character (mostly in terms of his/her interactions with Andrew Jackson) to answer the questions accurately and with good detail.  Each of the answers you give should be about a paragraph long (5-8 sentences) as a general guideline of the length it takes to provide sufficient detail.  You are not required to bring anything written - this is just to help you understand the level of detail that you need to include in your verbal answers to the questions you'll be asked during the trial. 

If you were absent from class on Friday, please complete this make-up assignment.

This assignment is worth 2 homework grades (10 points)
