Lesson Plans for Individual Groups
The Great Depression


This unit is designed for an alternation of reading and discussing.  Before the assigned reading takes place, the group or the teacher assigns each person a role.  The first day of a section the group will read and plan his/her role.  After the student has planned his/her role, the teacher will check it and make any necessary revisions. The second day of the section the group will revise and discuss the roles he/she has planned.  Each group is determined by his/her reading grade level.
