Situation For your literature class you were assigned a literary period that you had to present with three more students. One of you had to make a hand-out, one of you had to find a literary text to illustrate the period, one of you had to find visual material that illustrated the period historically or artistically. One had to present the main characteristics to the class. One group member has done practically nothing. Come together and debate what to do.
