That's right, you are going to become the author of some excellent piece about the topic of surfing and waves, and you will have the opportunity to design a presentation to share it with the class. This unit will take this entire week, and you will have to do some work on your own time. The focus of this unit will be for students to produce a substantial work in the field of surf literature. Students must produce the written piece individually, however they may work in groups to present their work. For example, a group of student authors may present a t.v.-style talk show where their work is discussed and, of course, exalted.
Creativity is important for both aspects.
Selection of a topic and literary form. Creation of a written product in this form. The presentation of their work. It may be a combination of group and individual work, however the teacher reserves the right to change or break up groups that are ineffectively using class time or being disruptive. Student ideas for presentations should be cleared with the teacher.
