F 9/16/2011: GROUPS 1 and 2---group 3 has decided to formulate our questions for the prosecution and defense based only on the book, unless you post independant sources in advance. We will be posting some of the questions for Sir Walter on the wiki by 5pm Sunday(other character ?s will be posted Mon evening, Tues evening, and so on), so you can get an idea of what we will be wanting each group to cover in their arguments and counter arguments.1316186811

F 9/16/2011: ATTENTION TEAM 2!!!! I have posted some character analysis, simple stuff, but it could be helpful in forming our defense.

They need some //Persuasion// support and scholarly article support, but this general information will suffice until further research is conducted. 1316194210

Sa 9/17/2011: I have posted some general information on the Team 2 page about how to "Create a Doc" on the Facebook group page, which most everyone should be added to. I've also posted character analysis for all five of the characters, so other members can begin preparing for their arguments. I've also posted some additional resources on the Wiki and on the Facebook page, so take a look! If anyone in group two was absent on Friday, please post about it so we can rearrange or figure out how to incorporate you into our rigidly structured plan. Thank you!!! 1316268799

Sa 9/17/2011: Hey Group 3 :) I have gotten ?s from Beka and Tony via e-mail, and I wanted to be sure that we are all on the same page. Try to include pages from the book for where to look for answers. That way when I post on the wiki tomorrow it is clear that we put some thought into it. Use the digital book you can find under Gateway for Games in the wiki. Go to resources. Then you can type in Sir Walter or a topic and the digital book will give you all passages that it included. Also, we need to be considering the other characters in their respective order, as the Benwick presentation is Wed. and info must be posted by 5pm Tues as I understand it. Look forward to hearing from everyone by tomorrow at 4pm!1316290402

F 10/14/11 Good Job with the games, everyone. All of the presentations have been really creative and well-thought, Go Indeterminates! 1318598049

Just wanted to say again: Both teams did a really nice job with the performance. I undoubtedly have looked harder at Frankenstein after this game, especially today's game. I know things have gotten heated at times, but everyone should know that our job of choosing a winner is most likely going to be EXTREMELY difficult! Thanks for bearing with me today, I know my questions were a little intense, and I'm sorry if anyone felt blindsided or picked-on. Good job everyone, I'm impressed! 1318605424
