Students will be placed in small groups where they will be given one of the above sections to read and teach to the rest of the class.  Each group will read the section assigned and then prepare to teach that reading to the rest of their class.  They will do this teaching through cartoons, newspaper reports, speeches, C-notes, plays, song, poems or what ever means they think will get the message across.  Students will be graded on covering the main points of their assigned section and any vocabulary for that section.  Each student in the group is responsible for the completion and presentation of the material.  Students will have both Thursday and Friday as preparation time in class, but are encouraged to get other group member's phone numbers (to contact them if necessary) for last minute issues that may arise before they are scheduled to teach on Monday.  Students who do not participate in this assignment (due to absence, ISS, and such) will be required to complete the section reviews for each of the sections listed above.  These will be graded and recorded in grade book for this assignment.
