I have to do a group presentation for Gulliver's Travels....?

Question

We have to engage the class in some sort of activity involving the story. This is a college class, but so far the group presentations have been kinda silly. Other groups, who did different stories, had us make collages, story boards, put on skits, etc... My group wants to do something different. We're focusing on the last part- the Houynyhems- the horses. I thought maybe we could divide the class into two groups and put on a mock trial, or have a debate about whether Gulliver really is a Yahoo and should or shouldn't be expelled from the land. We could have one side debating that yes Gulliver is a Yahoo, and the other side debating that he's not. We could even have a judge and a jury. What do you guys think? Would you rather do this or make a storyboard or collage? If anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear him!!!

Answer 1

I think your idea sounds really good; your classmates would love the mock trial! Have fun!
