Each student read a different literary classic. When they were finished reading it, their assignment was to provide a five minute oral book review. They had to start with their favourite quote, select a prop that symbolised a core theme and explain how it had changed how they think about the world.
The goal was to share their oral book review with as many people as possible. At the end of the class, each student was required to select a new literary classic to read based on the recommendations that they had heard about that day.
