In groups of 6 you will be asked to teach the class about one particular section of the novel.

You will be responsible for a 7-10 minute oral presentation and a handout for the class to use as their study notes. We will present in order of chapters.

The following headings must be covered in the presentation:

1. Plot summary-summarize the plot of this section in 7-10 sentences. Explain title of the chapter.

2. Four different examples of literary devices. They must be identified and explained. This is a beautifully written book-choose the best ones!

3. Character Development- choose Arji and at least one other character and explain how the characters developed using the ideas we went over in class. You must make direct reference to the text.

4. Conflict –What is the main conflict in the section? Explain the conflict and note how it relates to the rest of the novel as a whole.

5. Two discussion provoking questions about your novel that you might ask the class to be used to encourage discussion.

6.One creative piece-Choose a poem, song, art object, famous quote or excerpt from literature that relates to this chapter and explain how it connects to the chapter in  four- five sentences.
