Death Row - the text

Hi guys,

 

today we began to study a new text entitled: "Death Row". You had to find some missing words in the text just by infering them thanks to the context and to give an oral account of the basic elements you could understand thanks to the WH-. Here are the notes that we took on the board:

 

WHO: Sam Cayhall 70  -> a murderer, killed 2 children
         Adam Hall 26 -> a young lawyer
         S. is his grandfather but he doesn't know it.
 
WHERE: Mississipi -> in jail / on death row

WHEN: 1990 (Sam is to be executed in a month)

WHAT: Sam -> to be excuted -> gas chamber
            New laws -> to execute people

HOW/WHY: Sam he doesn't care about himself
                  (3/4 packs of cigarettes a day)
                  He doesn't care about dying before
                  the execution: - maybe he's afraid
                                           - he'd rather die of lung cancer

Adam wants Sam know something -> grand son -> related family

Against the capital punishment / death sentence -> 12 States have abolished the death sentence
                     1. on death row
                     2. death sentence, capital punishment
                     3. lethal injection
                     4. execution
                     5. victim
                     6. chamber
                     7. sentences
                     8. death sentence
                     9. execution

 

HW:

- être capable de faire le compte-rendu oral de ce texte de manière organisée.
