The Bell Jar Presentation

Throughout this project I found that we all learned from each other in different ways. I enjoyed working on this project as a group because it gave each of us a chance to work as a team and to gain different ideas from one another. Among the 5 of us, we all worked very well together and developed a concise, organized unit on this novel. I especially found the 5 different subtopics we taught to the class to be very useful and helpful in all aspects of our lesson. We touched on crucial parts of the novel that will enhance any student's knowledge and thinking when it comes to literature.
I am not sure I would really change much on the way we went about this project. I kind of felt this project snuck up on us, but we managed to put together a reliable unit plan on The Bell Jar. I think by each of us teaching different parts we wanted to discuss provided the class with variety, a chance to apply their knowledge, and discuss their own interpretations of the novel as well. Since our presentation included these three things I feel that our colleagues learned a lot on how to teach this novel as well as explore other aspects of the novel that may enhance their own learning as well.
