TRC Cases and Scaffolds

Friday (5.1) Directions

This is your last day of classtime before your rough draft is due next Friday.

1. Finish numbers 7-10 from Block.
2. With your group, identify the key points for full disclosure, political motivation, and proportionality that your side will be arguing.
   1. If you are pro-amnesty, remember - you MUST argue all three points.
   2. If you are arguing con-amnesty, you may choose to only argue two points.
3. Type your rough draft on your scaffold.
   1. PRO TIP: Check how long you are supposed to be presenting - it is on the role description. Know that it takes about one minute to say one double spaced page.
4. Transfer your rough draft to the rough draft doc by Friday.
