Group activities encourage collaboration while exploring the piece's fiction vs. nonfiction elements and analyzing visual content. Students will articulate a personal response in five sentences and learn to distinguish between denotative and connotative meanings through their reading and journal work. This lesson aims to enhance comprehension and personal connection to the text.
