Season two explores how Curtis Flowers has been tried for the same murder case six different times over a 21 year period. As the host says, it's about “a black man from a small town in Mississippi who’s spent the past 21 years fighting for his life, and a white prosecutor who’s spent that same time trying just as hard to execute him.”
***This is for episode four - check out my resources for episode one here***
This lesson is for episode four: "The Confessions." Students will hear about three different people who claim Flowers confessed to them while in prison. However, all three have changed their stories and taken back their confessions. Only one of the three changed his mind again (three times!) and continues to stand trial against Flowers.
This product includes the following:
- Graphic organizer for students to take notes on all the important information. A QR code is included at the top of the organizer for easy access to the podcast. I also include the times for each section so students (and teachers) know exactly where to find the information and can quickly refer back to the podcast as needed.
- An answer key for the graphic organizer.
- Stopping points and discussion topics to use throughout the episode.
- Exit ticket: A written response where students argue if jailhouse informants (snitches) should be used as evidence during trials. Students must include specific details from the podcast to support their claim.
****This episode contains graphic language because people are quoting each other. The creators of the podcast leave the language in because it is part of the evidence presented against Flowers. I make note of what section the language appears and what words are said so instructors are aware of what is coming****
