Instruction Time Frame 5 min explanation 12 min group work 15 min presentation Instruction Activity Description -Group DEJ activity (worksheet attached) Explain that students will be split up into groups and each group assigned a theme (Life lessons, Parenting, Education, and Social class). The group will then search through chapters 2 and 3 to find AT LEAST 2 quotes that show their assigned theme. They will then write down the quotes on the left side of the DEJ and analyze them on the right. After 12 minutes, groups will go up to board and present 1 of their 2 examples of their theme. As groups present, class will write down info. In groups there should be 1 or 2 scribes, a director, and a spokes person. Split students into 8 groups: 5 groups of 4 and 3 groups of 3 (Groups shown on seating chart) Allow groups to work. Walk around room to check that students are on the right track and understand what to do. During presentations, check that students have a quote that pertains to their theme and that they explain and analyze it clearly.
