STEP 1: Transition<\/h5>\n
STEP 2: Instruction<\/h5>\n
\u2022 In groups of three give each student a different part of tragedy.
\u2022 Give them 3 minutes to look over the sheet and be able to teach it to other people in the group.
\u2022 Have the students turn their papers over.
\u2022 They each get 2 minutes to teach their term to the group and 30 seconds at the end to check their papers to see if they\u2019ve missed anything.
\u2022 The other 2 students should be copying down notes on their \u201cFestival of Knowledge: Tragedy\u201d sheet.
\u2022 Switch until all have taught.<\/p>\nASSESSMENT:<\/h4>\n
