How to Read Literature like a Professor

Directions:  There are Twenty-Eight Chapters in this book and an Introduction and an Interlude.  You will be assigned one of these to present to the class in three ways.  Your job is to present the main ideas of the chapter to the rest of the class in a clear, organized and hopefully entertaining way.

This assignment is worth 100 points.

1.      Read your chapter:  Take hand-written notes.  You will turn in these notes.  Do not use any AI to summarize the chapter.  If I suspect that you used AI, I will fail you.

2.      Make a One Slide Presentation (Power Point of Google Slides) of what your chapter is about.  Clearly discuss the key concept and ideas that the author presents in easy-to-understand language that we can all understand and remember.

3.      Make a Class Poster on a ½ sheet of Poster Board that has all of the key concepts in easy to see and understandable language.  Make it nice.  Make it so that we can see it when it’s hung in the class and referred to as we go through the year.  DO NOT ROLL IT UP!

4.      Present your work to the class in a 2-3 minute oral presentation.

Final Day

Objective:  Don't make the teacher  mad!

Note from principal:   Please be sure you are supervising students and keeping them in your classroom.  Please continue to only allow them to leave one at a time to go to the restroom.  Please do not allow them to "run errands," go somewhere to get a yearbook signed, or to their counselor (The counselors are working with seniors at graduation practice and are not in their offices).  

That means:  Ask me to use the restroom.  One at a time.  And you have two minutes to get it done.
