“Mrs. Wright’s Journal”
In this activity, students will write a journal from the perspective of Mrs. Wright in the days leading up to her husband’s murder.
Mrs. Wright is an extremely important character who never actually appears in “A Jury of Her Peers.” The audience learns about her from the other characters and the description of her kitchen but never sees Mrs. Wright. You will write a journal entry from her perspective based on an event or specific passage from the story.
After you have finished, write a paragraph reflecting on what you learned about Mrs. Wright through this process, and if your thoughts on the theme of The Law Versus Justice have changed after this activity.
