Being a part of this group was a really cool experience. Usually in group projects I have found that one or two people do most of the work while the rest of the group slacks off, but this group was different. As a group we decided to make it more about class discussion then the group members talking as individuals. We did this by having a few meetings with multiple discussions. First we met on a Sunday at the library for a few hours where we all exchanged ideas and set a basic plan for our presentation. We then met a second time to sharpen our basic plan to a more developed one. In this meeting we each were assigned a part of the presentation that we would be responsible for introducing. My part is to introduce the climactic scene of the woman burning with her house. This means that i am responsible for briefly introducing the ideas to the class and making sure that a discussion proceeds the clip. During the second meeting, I was also filmed in a clip along with my other classmates for introducing scenes. We each discussed how to appraoch this project in the most fun and educational way possible without being too overbearing with information. We decided it would be fun to replicate the movie and introduce scenes as the parlor scene is shown in the movie. We also as a group decided on discussion questions, poll questions, and the most important scenes we were to discuss that are a part of the book and the movie (or question why it is part of just the book and not the movie). Overall, the preparation for the project was really a group effort.
