SUB PLANS - Wednesday, 11/29

First:

Read the rest of the chapter called "Monday, July 6th" in Monster.

  • Here is a link to the eBook.

    • Today's section starts on page 30 of the eBook (it might be different in the print copy).

  • Here is the audio.

    • Start it around 15:30, and play it until the end.

Then:

Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper.

You are allowed to work in groups of up to five people on this. Everyone needs to write their own answers on a sheet of notebook paper. It should be finished and uploaded to Seesaw by the end of class.

**Quick Note:** Both Delgado and Zinzi are the prosecution's witnesses. That basically means they are on the same team as Petrocelli, so we can already infer that:

Any questions Petrocelli asks them are meant to make Steve and James King look like guilty monsters who cruelly planned this murder.

Any questions Briggs or O'Brien ask them will either make the witness look like they are bad people who can't be trusted, or that they don't really know enough to be sure that what they're saying is true.

Questions:

Petrocelli & Delgado

  1. If you were planning to rob a store (not that anyone here is up to anything shady, but let's just pretend for a second), why might it matter to you that Delgado has a black belt?

  2. How might you use this information when figuring out your plan for the robbery?

  3. Why does she ask what time Delgado left?

  4. How does this support Petrocelli's argument that the men on trial are "monsters" who should take full responsibility for what happened?

Briggs & Delgado

  1. If someone were to find their boss (who they liked and had a good relationship with) brutally shot and killed, what would you expect their reaction to be? How would you expect them to feel? What would you expect them to do?

  2. How does Briggs' question about inventory go against that expectation?

  3. How might that make Jose look bad?

Briggs & Zinzi

  1. What feeling does Briggs get Zinzi to admit to having about staying in jail?

  2. How does it make Zinzi look when Briggs asks if he would "say just about anything to get out of jail" (Myers 39)?

O'Brien & Zinzi

  1. How do O'Brien's question about the deal Zinzi got connect to what Briggs was implying in his questions?

  2. Overall, what do the defense attorneys (Briggs and O'Brien) want the jury to think about ZInzi and his story?
