Step Two:  Give the audience a brief introduction of your actors and where your presentation picks up (i.e., which part in the novel, after the novel, ten years down the road, or, did you convert your skit to present day, etc...)
 Step Three:  Your group will create a skit (a play) using a shared Google Doc.  You share the doc so each of you can help create and add to it. 
Step Four:  Your group must also submit a Work Cited page.  Since you are only creating a script, you only have to cite the novel.  (Worth 25 points of your presentation).  Use EasyBib.com.   EASYBIB:  http://www.easybib.com/folders
Step Five:  Once the skit is final, you will share it with me and we will print a copy off for each actor (you can still edit your scripts if necessary by adding, deleting, highlighting, etc...)  You're scored on your presentation, not the script.
Step Six:  You can use your scripts in the presentation, but you still need to practice.  Create necessary props.
Step Seven:  You will perform the skit in front of the class on a scheduled day.
