Today in groups of 4, students will collaborate to investigate which of the Dr. Welner depravity factors apply to a particular individual chosen by the presenter.
Presenter will choose a killer, give a BREIF summary of the crimes associated with them: “Charles Manson was a cult leader and killer in the 70’s… he was convicted of …”
Interviewers (3) will take turns asking questions to probe which Welner items may apply to that person:
“… item 15 was an unrelenting attack, did Manson or his followers kill any victim in an unrelenting way with a huge amount of blows or shots for example?”
“Based on what you told us, Manson had cult followers… from what you learned, did he ever try to get them to take the blame for the crimes? If so item 19 applies.”
· As the presenters answer the questions, the presenter should write the relevant details on their master sheet to help them complete their form.
· Be detailed… your group should touch on as many of the 24 items as efficiently as possible.
· After the interview is finished, the group should change roles and the new presenter should describe a different killer. All members MUST present at least once today.
