Instructional Methodologies
Students will present group projects consisting of short story analysis and presentations. While one group is presenting, another group is preparing 2-3 review questions for the other students based on the presentation. Teacher uses rubric to evaluate group work.
Once all of the presentations are completed, students will ask groups their review questions; groups must ask not ask the presenters questions about their stories; this will ensure that everyone must pay attention. You could offer points and have some kind of small prize for the group that recalls the most from the presentations.
