Reporters
You have to make your own newspaper that follows the case from the moment the Amistad reach Americans sole. Each week every one of you has to write articles regarding the envelopment of the case. Interview the different parts (the lawyers, the judge and others, who you may find interesting in this matter). The articles are to be put on the blog. You are going to read the proofs of each others articles, before they are being published. Remember to make a nice design for the articles and find or take pictures.
At the trail you will become members of the jury. You are going to take the roles of ordinary working people. Ask the historians and the court officials for further information about your character.
