=**__Final Team Project__**=

=

 * Purpose:** To revisit the concepts studied through the literature this year, analyze their purpose within the text, and provide evidence of their integration into the text through quotations and paraphrasing. These pages will be used by future classes to understand and explore the literary concepts at the beginning of the year.======

__Step One (Days 1 - 3):__

 * ======From the list of literature concepts studied this year, your team will choose 12 that you will analyze on your web pages.======
 * Your team will provide a definition for each concept. The definition should come from a **scholarly source and include a citation**. You should then put the definition into simpler terms that students will have an easier time understanding.
 * Your team will find at least **3 quotations or paraphases**that are examples
 * Your team will write a rationale for the author's purpose in using each of the concepts. Each rationale should be **3 - 5 complete sentences long**.
 * At least **4**of your concepts should include media, such as a video clip, illustration, song, etcetera that further explains the concept.
 * All of the pages should be neat, include conscious graphic choices, have a pleasing appeal and be free of errors.

Please see Ms. McCorkle's example of "alliteration" in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" for further assistance.

__Step Two (Days 4 & 5):__ Once all of the groups' pages have been published so that others can see it, you will comment on the content and and aesthetic appeal of other groups' pages, using **THE DISCUSSION POSTS** and prescribed sentence stems. Each student will comment on **5** other pages. The second day of review, groups will make changes to their pages based on **2 comments** they felt had merit.

__Step Three (Day 5):__ Once each group has made changes based on peer feedback, the group will **self evaluate** using the rubric and **provide a rationale (short phrase this time)** for each score. The teacher will either agree (checkmark) or provide a reason (short phrase) for altering the score. The team's self evaluation will be the last thing posted to the pages.
