Question

I'm presenting an assignment for 20 to 30 minutes worth 5% of my mark on an essay based on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

What can I do to involve class participation? I can't do any games (crosswords, quizzes, bribing, etc.) or just simply ask questions. Doing class participation determines whether I fail the assignment or not... My teacher wants me to involve the class in a unique, but appropriate way...and I don't know how! Please help.

Answer 1

What about your assigning people roles from the various characters and have a trial of Nurse Ratchet. I am sure you can think of an "offense". Some of the characters can be jury and others attorneys, witnesses, etc. Their participation in the trial should represent their experiences with the nurse and how she behaved. I think that would be fun.
