GREAT EXPECTATIONS ASSIGNED CHAPTERS AND TOPICS EXAMPLE NOTE

GREAT EXPECTATIONS ASSIGNED CHAPTERS AND TOPICS EXAMPLE NOTE: This is only an example. This example only has the bare minimum of what I expect from you guys. You will need to take this example and make it your own by adding MUCH more in depth content to it. It is IMPERATIVE you know which days you present. Each day late well be a 25 point deduction off the top. Please see me in tutoring for any questions or guidance.

TITLE PAGE – CHAPTER PRESENTATIONS You should include a title page of some sort with your assigned chapters and group member’s names.

CHAPTER 1 You should divide the presentation by chapter. That is, complete the assigned activities for the first chapter, then repeat the same for the second. For the topic presentation, divide up the topic into sections.

THE WHAT Here you will tell us about the events (plot) in chapter 1

THE WHY How do the events that happen in the chapter motivate Pip and/or other characters? (basically, how do the plot and character relate? )

THE HOW How do Pip’s choices impact him or other characters in the story?

THE MESSAGE What is the main theme in the chapter? Provide us with an example from the text to prove it (paraphrase or use exact text evidence).

SATIRE/FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE Provide at least 1 literary device (NOT metaphor or simile) here with exact text evidence from the novel. Also, note what is satirical in this chapter.

CHAPTER 2 I would then go through and do the same thing for chapter 2, my second assigned chapter.

QUESTIONS? What questions do you still have about your assigned chapters? Do you have any questions you would like to ask of your peers over your assigned chapters? You could also include a pop quiz to see how well your peers listened to you You could also include a game of some sort to measure this information – BE CREATIVE

REMINDERS FOR YOU! Each individual student will submit their reflection document (worth 25 points overall) on presentation day. KNOW WHICH DAY YOU PRESENT AND BE PREPARED! I will NOT remind you!
