Agenda
1. Printed copy of seminar prep:  Write "please grade" on top if you want me to average this with your seminar grade when you turn it in after your seminar.

2. Seminar + Trial Work Time

When you're not in seminar, here are your work time options:

*** See Helpful Resources on yesterday's blog post or on the Korematsu project page****

Witnesses:  

• Read/annotate the Zinn and Patriot's history chapters
  
• Begin researching your 2nd witness and writing his bio

Direct Examination Lawyers of the three witnesses that are ready with their bios:  

• Research your assigned witness's role in internment camps and any significant reports/memos that could be used as evidence
• Read the **Report** Excerpts (see below)
• Google Doc Folder of Defense Witness Bios
  
• Google Doc Folder of Prosecution Witness Bios

Other Lawyers:  Read the **Report** and begin thinking about what your team's "theory/theme" of the case might be.  What is your "thesis" if you will or the big picture argument your team is making overall to prove your side of the case.  
**Final Report on Japanese Evacuation of West Coast (authored by Dewitt with contribution by Bendetson)**

• Excerpts 
  
• Full-text

Cross-Examination Lawyers: If you are cross examining one of the witnesses whose bio is ready, read his bio and his entry on the densho website and/or the bios students wrote that are linked below and do some preliminary research on what evidence you might be able to use against the witness.  I also recommend you finish reading the Report (see above for the links)

• Google Doc Folder of Defense Witness Bios
  
• Google Doc Folder of Prosecution Witness Bios
  

Judges: 

• Class A Judges: Finish the schedule for the trial and share the document with Ashley
  
• Finish reading and annotating
