Monday, November 11th- Veterans Day

Grammar Tips of the Day: 
*Capitalize the following- Proper nouns, beginning of sentences, the pronoun I.
* Italicize titles of books, journals, tv shows.  Quotation marks for songs, episodes, articles, poems.
↝ FYI: I will be knocking a few points off when I see consistent errors with Tips of the Day.

REMEMBER: Your ultimate goal is to determine guilt or innocence. Take good notes!

 -Asia's Letter to Adnan
- Asia's Affidavit ( I posted a typed version under "links")
- Timeline: January 13, 1999
- People Map

Questions to consider:
  • What is the importance behind Asia McClain's letter? Why would it be important for a defense attorney to check out, or notice? 
  • What are the details behind Jay's version of what happened
  • What do you notice between the Best Buy layout and Jay's drawing? 
  • Study the Timeline of January 13, 1999. Do you notice any discrepancies between the timelines? Between testimony and call logs? (SPEND SOME TIME HERE)
  • Do you have a firm understanding of the interweaving of people? Who are the people are in this story? How are they connected?
