Chapter 3 Plot / 9th edition
Jigsaw activity
DIRECTIONS: We will start in three groups. Each member will be responsible for all of the group’s work –
that means every student will be turning in all work even though we collaborate as we complete and
discuss.
“Three Girls” (GROUP 1)
Joyce Carol Oates
#s - 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
“The Flowers” (GROUP 2)
Alice Walker
#s- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
“Killings” (GROUP 3)
Andre Dubus
#s – 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
REGROUP – make sure each group has someone from group 1, 2 and 3 – share out and record. Each will
be an expert. Please encourage additions and discussion. Stay in this group then complete the
following:
“A Rose For Emily” (ALL – in next group after sharing out and recording)
William Faulkner
#s – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
Write and think with depth and be concise. Remember, superficial work will have low scores.
