Group Assignments: There will be eight groups - two for each story. Sign up on the board.
Task: Read or listen to a written version of the story. (Jekyll and Hyde - watch a full length version of the tale.) You might need to explore a bit to find the written version if it is not listed here.
Step 2: Look carefully at the transformation scenes. Be a reporter. Answer the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of the tale.
Step 3: Your group must decide how to present the story of transformation.
Choices:
- Newspaper/magazine format
- Video
- Original live play
- PowerPoint with speaking parts for all
- Mural with text
- (Ideas from the groups will be considered.)
Guidelines will follow. For now, find and read/ listen to/ watch the tale. Complete that task by Thursday.
