In 1899, Alfred Dreyfus receives “the most important message of his life” and finds out that he will be released from prison and go home (page 49). In groups of three to four, students will create a script that outlines a conversation between Dreyfus and Zola once Dreyfus returns home. What do you imagine they will want to say to one another? How might Dreyfus want to thank Zola? What might Zola want to explain about what happened? When groups finish writing their scripts, they will perform their script for the class in a mini performance.
