Assessment:


 * The groups presenting will be assessed according to the rubric by the teacher. We will be looking for their support of their choices in the image, color, song, and quotations. We will also be looking for their awareness of time management.**


 * The students in the audience will be assessed by their listening skills during the presentation. This will be assessed by collecting and reading their observations. We will be looking for their specific comments that show they were really listening to the presentations and thinking about how the presentation affected their understand of the novella<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; margin: 0.1pt 0in 0.1pt 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;">If time allows **
