Process
1. Finish the Book
2. Discuss with the group where to find your role
3. Find the pages or events that highlight the role
4. Form a presentation
5. Present the findings to the class
Evaluation
Evaluation process: I will grade the presentation on a scale of 1-10 and give feedback to the students. This will help them find ways to better their presentation and strive for a better grade. I will also grade the notes to make sure they have been keeping up with the events and page numbers for their role.
Conclusion
The students will be able to gain knowledge through the different presentations. Yes, they have a role and they need to focus on these roles, however, the presentation will be very important to drill home the other aspects of the plot. This lesson will take place over three days, with the 3rd day being the day of the presentation. Since there is so much time, I will be grading the assignment through a strict rubric.
