Scope's Trial

Class as we enter the 1920's we are going to start a new project.  Like the power point presentation, you will work in groups, you will work on this project at the end of the next few classes and upon return from Thanksgiving,  this project will be due, Wednesday, November 28, 2012.

Please make sure to read the directions below, there is also a list of websites below which will help you with this project, and there is also a rubric which will outline how this project will be graded.

**When doing this Podcast, picture yourself as the person assigned and a reporter stops you on the steps of the courtroom as you are leaving the last day of the trial.  One member needs to be the reporter and one member needs to be the assigned person.**

Like any class project, if you have any questions, please let me know.
