Summative Assessment

Photo Caption Group Activity

Groups of 4-5

Group roles: Photographer, Director, Actors

You will work together in your assigned group to identify a major theme of the text and 4-5 key

moments (1 moment for every group member) where important character development takes

place relating to your chosen theme. You will be assigned roles and will stage photos where the

actors act out those 4-5 key moments. The photographer will be in charge of taking the picture

and the Director will instruct the actors on what to do, making sure to be as accurate to the text

as possible. Each student will write a caption to one of the photos explaining how it shows a

moment where character development takes place and how it relates back to one of the book’s

major themes. Captions must contain least 8 sentences that show variety. Character

development is explained in the caption through addressing cause and effect. Each student is

responsible for presenting a different photo to the class and explaining the caption then they will

clothespin it to the wall. Students will evaluate each other’s participation and contribution to the

group.
