Getting Ready for Team Tasks:

• Finalizing team formation (Current teams)

• Initial team task: meet once outside class before next Thursday to begin brainstorming a project

• Project idea presentations in Classes 9-10 (Oct. 28, Oct. 30)
  From Assignments page: "Choose a literary work (or part of a work) that the team will work on; and prepare a presentation to the class that introduces that work, explains why you are choosing it, and gives at least two initial ideas for your team project based on the work.  Be prepared to answer the question "why?"  That is, have at least an initial hypothesis about what your project might accomplish for our understanding and appreciation of the literary work (or of literature in general).... For the presentation, prepare citations, excerpts, and/or summaries of the work as appropriate on your Team Project Page (so that people who don't know the work can get a sense of it and follow your presentation).":
• Presentation content:
• The literary work (or part of a work): what it is, context, reason for choice [possibly also an alternate choice of work].
• At least two ideas for a team project, and be prepared to be asked "why?"
• Possible tools you might use
• Presentation format:
• 10 minute presentations
• Planned structure and roles
• [presentations will be followed by discussion with the class]
  
• Team Project Page:
• Mount materials on a project page linked from the Team Projects collective list
