3. Reading 3.7 Recognize and understand the significance of various literary devices, including figurative language, imagery, allegory, and symbolism, and explain their appeal.

6. JACK MERRIDEW ON TRIAL  Witnesses:  Each witness must write out five of the most important views/priorities/beliefs that he holds, making sure to explain the reasoning behind it. For every position you describe, you must be able to verify your belief using events from the book. Direct quotes are appreciated.  You must anticipate (guess) at least three questions that the defendant’s attorney will ask you and then prepare responses.  Then, you must anticipate (guess) at least three questions that the plaintiff’s attorneys will ask you and then prepare responses (Ralph may work with his attorney).

8. JACK MERRIDEW ON TRIAL  Attorneys (6 for each side):  You will need to write out the opening statement (arguments) for this case. Two attorneys must present the argument using ethos, two using pathos and two using logos. They should be a paragraph long each.  You will also need to prepare a list of questions for each witness. You can divide the witnesses up amongst your fellow lawyers on the same side. You will only have about two minutes to call and question each witness, so remember to keep your questions very brief. Also, remember that you do not need to call on each witness, but you should call on a good variety of them, not just pick one randomly.  Your questions should be either logos, ethos or pathos based

9. JACK MERRIDEW ON TRIAL  Attorneys (6 for each side):  “I object!” Discrediting a witness completely or catching them in an inconsistency or a lie will add credibility to your case.  You may only object twice per witness.  At the end of the trial, you must come up with a closing statement for the case (again, one using ethos, one using pathos, and one using logos). The closing statement sums up all of the points that have been made thus far.

If their points have no evidence, write that. Make sure you are keeping a thorough log of the trial, because if you miss anything important that another juror has written down (or that the teacher has written down), then you will lose points for not keeping a complete log of the trial.
