Our
Theme: Who determines the worth of a human being?
Responsibility: Each
group must give a 3 to 5 minute presentation on how their book illustrates the
theme above. During the presentation, each group member must speak (and must
speak as part of the main idea of
the presentation, not just to say “yes” or “no” or “okay”). Each presentation
must feature a created visual. (This
visual can be a PowerPoint or a poster or a Prezi or a video, etc.) The visual
should be an important part of the presentation.
As the presentation is only 3
to 5 minutes, all of the time should be used to intelligently explain how the
book relates or explores the theme. Don’t waste time with really long summaries and be a little careful about revealing the
end of the book. If the ending is so important that it must be divulged to answer the question, so be it. But, if you can
avoid it, do.
Get with your group and try
to come up with a clever
presentation. I would start with discussing the theme and how you think your
book deals with it. Make connections and expand to other themes if you can.
Decide what sort of visual you want to make as well. Maybe a poster could show
some of the ways the theme is addressed, maybe a PowerPoint with quotes from
the book and you could flip through the slides and talk about what the quotes
represent, or maybe a video reenacting the most important scenes where the
worth of a human being is being judged, etc.
It’s all up to you. Feel free
to chat with me about your ideas and remember that this is your final project
so, though I will grade it quickly, make sure that you put the proper effort
into it.
