A large group discussion can get a student started when trying to create their own thoughts. It allows opportunity to ask broader questions and share with those who aren't sitting near them. It provides a transition for small group discussion that is now more detailed and focused.

The students use of the original story to then reconstruct to a modern version is a good use of logic and strategic skills. It enhances the students ability to think thru a situation and evaluate the true meaning. Removing the bias part of the story is way to ensure students see the activity in objective way. In addition, using smaller groups opposed to larger groups helps the kids to each partcipate in the activity and give constructive feedback.

In the beginning of the class the teacher broke down the steps about the roles of adaption. The class practiced examples and shared with their groups and individually shared dialogue lines from movies. They worked in groups with their peer to write their own dialogue which was preparing them for their homework assignment.

The teacher did a great job being able to break down the literature and breaking it down into steps they were able to understand. Reading films that the students grew up and being able to understand the themes the movie is projecting. With the teacher being able present this idea to the students they will be able to connect the dots to write their own dialogue. Being able to separate the students into small groups from a whole group heightens the student’s interest in their dialogue, while really being able to express them creatively with in their writings.
