1. __**Story comprehension/Poll**__--students will answer questions, multiple choice, true/false and free response to question based on the story using their cell phones and the web 2.0 feature Poll Everywhere. ([|www.polleverywhere.com]) The teacher will show various questions and, to begin, students will answer independently with cell phones. The first several questions will be multiple choice and true/false. Afterwards, students will form teams and to compete (one cell phone per group). The questions from this point forward will be free response. The entire group will have to work together to think of an answer.

2. __**Storyboard**__--students will construct an 8 or 9 panel storyboard that retells the story in a simpler form. All characters must be present in storyboard and it should be colored. After, students will share storyboard with partner and note similarities and differences between how both retold the story (i.e. which events were (not) included, how they retold the story--tense, etc.) Students will share out results with class.

3. __**Paper Pass**__--Students are put into teams of 5-6 and sit in rows. First person in the row starts with a piece of paper numbered 1-5. Teacher will give students a category such as setting, character, etc. First person writes a word that fits in the category and passes it back to the next person. NO REPEATING! When each person on the team has written down a word, then the paper gets passed back up to the first person who raises it in the air to show that they are done. The first group that finishes with correct answers spelled correctly gets two points. The other teams with correct answers spelled correctly only get one point. In between rounds, teacher will debrief with students, quick discussion, etc. Sample catagories:
 * characters
 * Agustín
 * Jules y Jim
 * la música
