 * This is the old Smash Hit or Trash It (Rate it or Hate it/Love it or Shove it) bit from any number of radio stations. Students will be placed in groups of three. They will be given the choice of all of the books/short stories that have been covered in class during the year. They are to pick one that is their favorite and then give a group presentation as to why that was the best story or best character of the year. This would be a Smash Hit. They can also pick a book/story/character that they hated. This would be a Trash It. They are to record this presentation and put it on Youtube for the class to watch in class. The class can then ask them questions and critique their choices after viewing based on a rubric handed out by the teacher.
