Interviewing the Saints

To demonstrate knowledge of a saint based upon the summer reading assignment, students will work with others who read the same book to answer questions which will be posed by a moderator in a class panel discussion called Meet the Saints. In the panel discussions, students will portray their saints and answer questions which reveal their knowledge of the saint. At the panel the student may have one notecard for each question. There can be notes in bullet form but not sentences.
