Aim: How does the author’s use of setting demonstrate issues in the US justice system?
Do Now: Journal
Do Now: Journal
Imagine that you’re in a room that is 97 degrees with 11 other people, you have n o a/c, you’re hungry, and you can’t leave until you all agree. What are your feelings and thoughts? Share with your partners/team.
We would agree to leave by agreeing to a plan to escape or leave. We can easily agree that we are all locked in a room, leave, and go to our separate ways. However, if the room is full of people who absolutely disagree with each other on absolutely everything then this is a hard task. You also do not know what you are agreeing to so this situation does depend on what everyone is agreeing to.
After our class finished discussing the do now, we began to arrange our desks into the scene so that we can start our reading on Twelve Angry Men. By ourselves, we had to pick our roles and get into characters.
Reflection:
Today I learned that not everyone agrees with each other. Even if a majority does think one way, there is always an odd one out. From the reading we did today, an example of this is Juror Eight, who is the only juror who doesn’t think that the boy is guilty in the whole room. I learned this because the whole conflict, so far, in Twelve Angry Men is that Juror Eight doesn’t think the boy is guilty which stops the rest of the Jurors from going home/leaving. This applies to the real world because not everyone is going to think the same way as you so there are always going to be people who will disagree with you. You have to learn to stand up for yourself and not let other people’s opinions stop you.
