Part One: Imagine that you have just voted in a local election. As you are walking out of the polling station, you notice a van of mentally disabled people out in front. As you walk past, you see the van driver give each of the people in the van a $20 bill and hear him tell the people to go inside and vote for the candidate that you want to win. He asks them to chant the name of the candidate over and over, until they understand what they are to do. What do you do?

Write a paragraph describing what you saw and what you should do next. Explore your feelings, and defend your actions. Remember to include what your responsibilities are as a citizen.

Part Two: It is brought to the attention of local authorities that, in the last election, someone paid a van full of mentally disabled people to vote for a candidate who won the election by just ten votes. The case has come to trial as a case of voter fraud. You are selected to serve on the jury. Write a brief summary of the case, then argue for each side of the case using 1-2 paragraphs per side.

Part Three: Now, imagine yourself in a room with the other jurors trying to decide the verdict in the case described in Part Two. Is this a criminal case or a civil case? Imagine yourself in the courtroom. What does the defendant look like? Does that make you think the defendant is guilty or not guilty? What are the lawyers saying? Is there any evidence that turns the tide, or is it just a steady stream of evidence that seems to favor one side?

Directions
Write an essay that sets the scene of the courtroom and the jurors' deliberations and decision on the case.

Begin by making an outline of the essay. Decide the details of the case, the courtroom and the jury's deliberations. Flesh out your topic paragraph and overall thesis for the essay. In a paragraph or two, thoroughly describe the key evidence, evidence that turns the tide or seems to weight the argument toward one direction. Explore the adjournment and how the jury deliberates. Offer differing viewpoints of the jury based on the different evidence. What do you think? How does the jury come to a unanimous decision? Write persuasively and clearly, taking into account how your emotions and perception may influence your decision about the case, the defendant, and the other jurors.

Use the Internet, newspapers, and other media outlets to learn about similar cases. Be sure to begin writing with an outline, and develop your arguments using correct grammar and sentence structure in order to make your point.

Prompt
First, write a paragraph describing your personal responses to seeing the events outside the polling place committed. Make sure to argue your point persuasively.

Second, write a 300-word essay that sets the scene of both the courtroom and the jurors' deliberations and the final decision on the case.
