DO NOW
Add these three vocabulary words into your notebooks. Do not define the word by using another form of the word:
1. Certifiable - officially recognized as needing treatment for a mental disorder
2. Validate - demonstrate or support the truth or value of.
3. Premeditate - think out or plan (an action, especially a crime) beforehand.
Direct Instruction / Guided
Complete multiple choice and/or constructed response test.
Complete Mary Maloney evaluation and provide evidence for each scenerio on handout provided.
Independent
In groups of 2-4, plan a closing argument for either the defense or prosecution of Mary Maloney. As stated on the handout, you are deciding if she committed a crime of passion (manslaughter - 3rd degree), was subject to mental abuse and therefore innocent, is crazy (and should be admitted to a mental institution) or committed pre-meditated murder (and therefore should get life or the death penalty).
1. Include 3 facts from text that support your position.
2. Include 2 emotional appeals.
3. Use repetition 2 times to emphasize a point.
4. Use sarcasm one time.
