Scarlet Letter Teaching Assignment Details and Due Dates
Student Driven Teaching and You – Make the Connection
Your responsibilities when teaching your chapters:
1) You must create a five question quiz that all students will take (with the exception of the students teaching
the chapter).
a. The quiz must focus on content of the chapter only, and may be multiple choice or short answer.
b. The quiz must be turned into me for review at least one day prior to your teaching day.
2) Teaching times per chapter are as follows:
a. One person = 10 minutes
b. Two people = 15 minutes
c. Three people = 20 minutes
d. The quiz does not count as a part of your teaching time.
3) While teaching the chapter, you must address several things.
a. You must give a summary of the chapter that details (chronologically) what the chapter is about.
b. You must refer to and discuss any themes that the author presents to the reader in the chapter you
have chosen.
c. You must discuss any symbols and hypothesize about their importance.
d. You must talk about the development of characters in your chapter.
e. Discuss any other literary devices the author uses. i.e. Irony, foreshadowing, allusions, etc. (Find at
least three per chapter)
4) You will be expected to take questions from Mrs. Wagner and your fellow students at the end of your lesson
for a maximum of 5 minutes.
5) I will provide the HOMEWORK for each chapter. Literature Circle worksheets. You may use these to
help support your lesson, but the lesson information (see number 3) takes precedence. When you are an
audience member, you will pay attention to the teachers and the lesson. You will do nothing else.
