Extender/Back-Up Activities: Look at student’s papers that are struggling

Provisions For Individual Differences: Allow students with poor vision to adjust seating.

Teacher Notes: Remind students to have a copy of the MLA handbook so they can look through as they are composing the final draft of the paper. This unit was to look at how cultures respond to differences and what happens because of the new things being introduced to a given culture. Do cultures change the same way that language changes. What are some positive and negative aspects of one culture being exposed to another? Are these discussions relevant to what we experience today. What was your favorite work that we looked at? What was your least favorite? Your presentations are only to be two minutes you can either read them or perform them to the class. Remember they should be in second person. You will be addressing the character. Choose a character that you have much to comment about and do not be afraid to have fun with the assignment.

Supplementary Materials: Handout with directions for presentation.
