Prosecution & Defense teams:
You are to develop a set of ten questions, collaboratively, that you can use to screen potential jurors for the Frankenstein trial. Your goal is to design questions that will reveal values, preconceived notions, and prejudices that would either favor your preferred verdict against Frankenstein or would eliminate that person as a juror in your mind. Ask yourself what kind of person would convict/acquit Victor Frankenstein.
Post your questions on the appropriate wiki page on http://chsstaff.vail.k12.az.us/groups/chs_tonk/search/?tag=trial . And yes - the other team is going to be able to see your questions and adjust their own questions accordingly. I believe that it works similarly in the real legal system.
These questions are due by Sunday evening at midnight. I will photocopy them and deliver them to 3rd hour on Monday. You will have their responses on Tuesday & Wednesday next week and you can develop your list of "preferred" jurors and your list of people you definitely DON'T want on the jury. On Wednesday, I will ask volunteers from 1st and 2nd to come to class during 3rd hour for formal jury selection. Defense and prosecution will each have two vetoes over each other's choices. 3rd hour students NOT selected for jury duty will play characters.
