 * Oprah is featuring The Color Purple on her talk show. In order to win the opportunity to be a guest on her show, you must prove to her that students fully comprehend the story and how character development occurred throughout the novel in order to have a round table discussion with Oprah and other actors from the movie. To prove knowledge of the novel, students must make a 4 minute imovie clip of a talk show one student will take on the role of host while the other takes on the role of a main character from the novel. Students must come up with a list of questions to be asked or to ask (host) and have answers from the book to back up claims. The team with the best grasp upon the novel and the character development will get invited to the Oprah show where they will most likely find themselves with many free giveaways. ||
