Monday - Period 2

You will receive a copy of the collaborative plot synopsis that we created in Week 6.  Using different coloured highlighters, mark the plot details to indicate the following:

• High-level tension
• Mid-level tension
• Low-level tension

In pairs you will begin to address characterisation by considering the various characters Reginald Rose has created to develop his themes.  You will receive a character table that profiles each juror and using this information you are to create Voki avatars. Each avatar must begin with an introduction ("I am Juror Number ...) and their comments should clearly indicate the feelings and attitudes of the juror.   This will be a paired activity where you will share both ideas and the end product.  Embed your avatars on your Weeblys.
