Create Your Own Ending Group Project 
Create the following assignment within your small group communities. You will have multiple class periods to work on the assignment but you will also have to assign responsibilities to individuals to complete outside of class in order to complete the assignment successfully. Each group will receive a group grade as well as an individual grade. Your assignment is to create your own ending to the novel. You will write this in the form of a script and perform it for the class at the end of the unit. As a group, you must also write a 500 word description of how your ending is supported by the rest of the novel (give at least three examples of evidence in the novel that led to your ending). You should hand in the script, the written description, a credits page detailing the significant contributions and who made them, a personal log of your own daily contributions to the group, and your individual reflection on the roles you took on within your group for group work and the performance.
