 * Part II - Closing Argument Video **

Using PhotoBooth or iMovie, record yourself delivering a __**:60 second (maximum)**__ closing argument to the trial jury. You may not look at your notes or use notecards while delivering your final statement. Practice good eye contact and using persuasive language and voice. Your closing argument needs to include the following:
 * 1) An attention getting hook at the opening (quote, statistic, question)
 * 2) Summarization of your main arguments as to why the colonists had the right to rebel against Great Britain. Use this opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of history.
 * 3) Identify the arguments Great Britain made against the Colonists and explain why those arguments are wrong.
 * 4) Conclude your closing statement with strength and an emotional appeal that engages your audience. Use vivid emotive language. Reiterate your theme that England violated the colonists rights as Englishmen and therefore, George Washington should be acquitted (found not guilty).
