2. Gather around our “jury deliberation table” to act out ACT 1 / PAGE 22-25

5. Write your opening paragraph starting with an anecdote. Remember an anecdote is a brief story used to capture the readers' attention. If I approved your anecdote in class, you may use that one. If not, create one or find one in your research.
