In writing, clearly identify the plot, theme, setting, characters, conflict, climax, and resolution. Think about an activity that would effectively reinforce the main points of the story. When you meet with your group, do the following: o On binder paper to turn in on the day of your presentation: Answer all study questions in writing or typed. Identify the plot, theme, setting, main characters, conflict, climax, and resolution in writing or typed. Each element must be written or typed with no more than half page each element. o Make a creative presentation that reviews the plot, theme, setting, characters, conflict, climax, and resolution of your story. This should include the activity that will help the class better understand the story. (You can use PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and/or whatever works for you.) Avoid wordy PowerPoint presentation. o Give a homework assignment. This could be a crossword puzzle, a poem, a song, or whatever creative work that your group thinks of. It will be presented or corrected in class the day following your presentation. Your group must come up with a grading sheet so that Mrs. Reyes can give each student a grade for your assignment.
