Homeless Bird Group Research SlideShows
The students worked in small groups to gather information regarding a topic discussed in the novel, Homeless Bird, by Gloria Whelan. Although the book is a fairly easy read, the content is not always that easy to comprehend. Topics such as dowries, Hindu Weddings, Widows of India, Varanasi, Tuberculosis, Saris, and Women's Role in India are discussed in this novel. Before reading the novel, students conduct the research, then create a presentation of information using Google Slides in real time with classmates.
Using Google Slides in real time allows students to work from home at separate times, yet contribute to one slide show.
Students presented information before reading a chapter that discusses their given topic. This provides background information so students can better comprehend the novel.
