2. There will be 6 groups of four, pair the groups off so one group uses evidence from the story to prove the characters are guilty and the other group will prove his innocence. 3. Students will work together looking through the chapters of the events that occurred prior to the end of chapter taking notes of events they read about that will help their case. They will be using the app notability https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/notability/id360593530 to jot down notes as they read. 4. Each group must use evidence such as certain stereotypes that will help their case. They must also use what they know from previous chapters to make their case; such as past events between the two groups. Use the examples such as the way the Socs treated the Greasers or the things they had said to them as evidence. Remind students to find specific quotes from the story to prove their case. Day 2 1. Organize the notes from Notability into an Inspiration Map https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inspiration-maps/id510173686 which will put all the notes in logical order to present a case 2. Look for images on the Internet such as a Google search that can be used in the Keynote presentation to help the case Day 3 1.

The rest of the class will then be the jurors and decide based on the cases presented whether the characters were guilty or innocent. They will need to write a short response as to why they chose the particular verdict after each paired group presentation. They can change their decision after each group depending on how well each group presented the evidence. Day 5 1.
