Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action - Week 6, Period 5
[OOC: Dummies' Guide]
"Good afternoon," Thursday greeted. "Keep the 24th of October free. It's a Tuesday, but this class will not run that day. You'll have a free period, then you're all to meet here after classes. We're going on a field trip. If there are any problems, or if you have an allergy to ink, be sure to let me know as soon as possible.
This week's novel is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The court room plays a large role in the novel, and as you would have seen can be quite a circus when the law is in motion. Today, this classroom is a court room." She gestured to how the room was set up. "We won't be covering anything as controversial as murder. I'll leave the controversy to the Ethics class. This case is straight-forward. The court is not.
I'll need volunteers for the following:
Four members of the Defence team who will defend the accused at all costs.
Four members of the Prosecution team who will prove the accused guilty at all costs.
A judge who will mediate the discussion and preside over the proceedings.
Seven members of the jury whose decision will be the final one.
Three witnesses who will play the Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts and the Knave of Hearts on the witness stand.
Then we have the accused. Mr Addy, you are hereby accused of stealing the Queen of Hearts' tarts.
The difference to this court is that Mr Addy can defend himself and anyone can ask questions that the Defence or Prosecution must then find ways to answer. Each side has evidence to interpret.
Enjoy."
[OOC: Pick a role, ask questions, mess with evidence and argue your case! You obviously don't have to participate, but if you don't intend to, just leave an OOC note saying so so people aren't waiting on you.]
