Appetizer #3 of Set 2:
Does Mr. Mayherne's visit with Mrs. Romaine Heileger/Vole change his outlook about the case against Mr. Vole? Explain.
Today's Assignment
You are going to finish reading "The Witness for the Prosecution" by Agatha Christie.
Continue to practice taking notes for longer pieces of writing. Create a document, name it Notes for "The Witness for the Prosecution". Briefly (3-5 sentences) summarize each page of the short story. You may work with a partner to create the summary. Just share the document with your partner and then delegate pages for each of you to summarize.
Example:
Page 1: We are introduced to Mr. Mayherne, a solicitor, and his client, Mr. Vole. Mr. Vole is a young man accused of murder, but claims that he is innocent. Mr. Mayherne acknowledges, as does Mr. Vole, that all the evidence strongly points to the fact that Mr. Vole committed the murder, but he says he believes he did not do it. We are then introduced to Miss Emily French, an elderly woman that Mr. Vole helped as she was trying to cross the street with parcels and was almost hit by a bus. We can assume based on the conversation between Mr. Mayherne and Mr. Vole that this is the woman he is accused of murdering.
Use the submission form to turn in the Chapter Summary of "The Witness for the Prosecution."
