Maslow and Janie
Kind of Activity:
Group Work
Objective:
Students will be able to understand Janie's character development through a famous pyschological theory, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Common Core Standards:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3
Structure:
Split students into groups and ask if anyone is familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Review the concept with them. A good guide can be found here.
