After this little Opening, today and Monday you will meet exclusively with your Literature Circle to prepare for the Panel Discussion (The sole assessment for this grading period.)

1. Above your Found Poem, label this Section in your Class Notebook
4/29-5/6: Panel Discussion Prep Work:

• You found a passage from your Holocaust novel and transformed it into a Found Poem.
• Now, prepare a dramatic interpretation of your found poem - you'll read it to your group in about 5 minutes.

2. After you each present your dramatic interpretation, refer to the Embedded Assessment's Guiding Questions for help making decisions for your panel discussion.

Some quick notes before you break off with your group:

• I will walk around - stop me and hand me your novel with marked pages/passages (sticky notes, please) for what you want PHOTOCOPIED.  That way you can make notations about HOW you will read the passages during your presentation.

• Use your time wisely.  

• Consider using technology in a creative way.  Even just creating an outline of your presentation in a Word or Excel document.  You can project it to the group, allowing us to follow your key ideas - even key passages.
