To the Lighthouse Lesson Plan

Group Summaries

Kind of Activity:

Group Work

Objective:

Students will be able to summarize important moments in a novel focused more on internal characterization than external plot.

Common Core Standards:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.1, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.10
