JAKE KRUM

TITLE: REAL LIFE GRAPES OF WRATH

 TOPIC: DUST BOWL

 GRADE: 11

IDEA:

STUDENTS WILL RESEARCH THE DUST BOWL LOOKING FOR IMAGES, VIDEOS AND FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS.  WORKING IN SMALL GROUPS, STUDENTS WILL BREAK DOWN SELECTED CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL, CREATING A VISUAL REPRESENTATION AND EXPANDING TO THE STORY THROUGHFIRST HAND ACCOUNTS. THE GROUPS WILL CREATE A PRESENTATION THAT OUTLINES THIER VIEW OF THE TEXT.

  1. The Grapes of Wrath is a fabulous novel. I wish I would have appreciated it more in high school. Great ideas to make the reading experience richer for your students.
