Overview:

This assignment is a group activity where you have been placed into one of 5 (five) different groups. Each group will put together a presentation that reflects your aesthetic response to this story. I have provided each group with a shared google doc. On the shared google doc, each of you should add one sentence that expresses an idea that you feel highlights this story.

When you have all completed your one sentence responses on the shared google doc one of you in your group can then post your group's shared google document on the Group Responses discussion forum for "To Build a Fire." I will be checking in with each group to offer help with this assignment.

Please see the information on how Shared Google Docs work (Links to an external site.).
