I really like this lesson plan. I will definitely use it in my future classroom. Thanks! Do you think that the students would enjoy creating a Power Point with their group instead of a handout?

Great plan. Would it be possible to add ELA standards of summarizing to the plan?

Thanks for the comment, Diane. We'll check the ELA standards assigned to this lesson to ensure that they are accurate.
