Integrate Diagrams and Fiction!

In your next play or novel study assignment, integrate diagrams and fiction. Ask students to create one setting they can visualize from the work.

* Plan a room that reflects measurements appropriate to the era

* Lay out the room showing all window and door placements

* Position furniture and rugs

* Show colors and other detail

* Use arrows to label parts of setting, writing in line/page number of description found to support inclusion in the diagram.

The response might take the form of an overhead transparency or computer presentation software slide.

As a group work, students could create a set of transparencies or computer presentation frames.

Excellent illustration of a close reading inside a terrific presentation project!
