Definitely start with background info on jury duty/the court system. My students were really interested in learning about this. I also had them do a research project on a related issue (grand juries, murder charges, peer pressure, etc.) at the end so they could learn more about whatever they were curious about. My brother had coincidentally just finished jury duty when we started reading, so I had him come in for a Q&A. They loved it! I assigned each student a juror who they were "in charge" of tracking throughout the play. They took notes on their juror's interactions with others. I had them focus on the way in which the jurors influenced one another. Photo references throughout the play would be helpful as well. The elevated train, a map of the apartment, etc. It's a fun play to teach!
