Redding (on Springboard - posted after August 20th) After reading both versions, consider the following: Who or what is the focus version one? Who or what is the focus version two? How is the school a sympathetic party? How is the student a sympathetic party? What is the theme (the overarching, seemingly universal plight that the story is about) of each statement of the case? How are the statement of the case for each different? Consider what facts are emphasized or omitted in each version. Which statement of the case did you find more persuasive? Why?
