Notes:
1.  Make a bullet-point list of the possible reasons why one might oppose the death penalty.  Note whether the reason could be seen as utilitarian or deontological.

2. 
Break into 3 groups, sit at different tables. You will all look at arguments against the death penalty.
Go to this website:  http://deathpenaltycurriculum.org/node/5
Group 1:  read, annotate, and be ready to share the agree and disagree arguments on the 'deterrence' category
Group 2:  read, annotate, be ready to share the agree and disagree arguments on the "retribution" category
Group 3:  read, annotate, be ready to share the agree and disagree arguments on the "innocence" category.

2.  Jigsaw--go and find someone from a different group.  Explain your category's arguments and share with them your notes. Ask them to explain their category as well and take down their notes.
