Today we tried to make some inferences about the jurors in 12 Angry Men by creating a character wheel. Pick one juror from the play and base your inferences on what you know about him. Here's what you do:
1. Draw a big circle on a piece of paper (use as much of the paper as you can).
2. Segment the circle into 5 equal parts (like a pie).
3. Put one response into each piece of the pie.
a. What would be the best job for your juror? What would be the worst job for your juror?
b. Use one symbol to express your juror's personality (not too literal).
c. Relate one figurative language device to your juror (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, idiom).
d. What is your juror's favorite pastime/hobby?
e. What would your juror do if s/he won the lottery?
If you need to refresh your memory about the jurors, there is a link to the play on my Thursday, Dec.5 blog.
Work I have collected: Character Chart, Agree/Disagree (with Alphabet Boxes on the back).
Have your notebook ready for a notebook check beginning on Monday, Dec.16. Look at yesterday's blog for the list of the work I will expect to see in your notebook.
