YHWP-McKee Group Assignment 

 

Groups of 4 will present.

Explore how this concept can be seen at work in the structure of Your House Will Pay.

 

Choose passages from at least 3 Parts (Part I, Part II, Part III, PartIV) of the book. Be prepared to read these passages out loud and discuss how they demonstrate this concept from McKee at work.
