Goal: In groups of 4, students will research an assigned topic and teach the class about
the topic in a short 5 minute lesson. After each group has presented, the class will take
a quiz on the historical context of the novel.

choose the information they wish to teach the class about the topic. All sources must be
credible.
#1: Groups will be responsible for creating a PowerPoint presenting the information on
the topic. This PowerPoint needs to include 1 Title Slide, 3 Body Slides, and 1 Source
Slide.
#2: Groups will be responsible for teaching the subject to the class. Must present all
information orally to the class.
#3: Groups must be ready to answer any and all clarifying questions on the spot.
