Need Presentation Ideas

<p>Anyone have some creative ideas on how to present/teach a story to an English class? I've got to present this story The Pillow Book. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.f.waseda.jp/mjewel/jlit/authors_works/premodernlit/makura_no_soshi.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.f.waseda.jp/mjewel/jlit/authors_works/premodernlit/makura_no_soshi.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Normally, I would think along the lines of a skit, but The Pillow Book is basically a journal about the day-to-day life of a lady in waiting in Japan. No plot at all, maybe some common "themes."</p>

<p>About the only thing that came into mind was to somehow relate this to "blogs." Like instead of using the typical lecture w/ power point, I thought about asking the class to Blog as an "activity," or summarizing the material in blog format. (Yes, lame I know, since that's worse than the usual power point.)</p>

<p>Some of the other people in my group thought about doing a commercial selling the book.</p>

<p>Anyone got some suggestions or did some cool presentations?</p>
