Exhibition Benchmark #1: Troy Davis Article & Visual Elements. Due Next Class

Re-read the Troy Davis article you are reading in Government. This time, you will be identifying the important parts of his case so you can create a photoshop collage which expresses his story (and answers the following questions) in a single frame.


Who are the main players in Davis' story?

What happened when he was arrested, and what has happened since?

Where are we? What scenery or backdrops are present in Davis' story?

Why is he still incarcerated? What evidence exists that might prove his innocence?

Which argument against capital punishment does Davis' case exemplify?

Answer these questions in a blog post, then collect images from the internet (6 minimum) which show your answers, and Davis' story, visually.
