1. **__Chorus line__**--Before delving into reviewing the chunk of reading for each day, students will review the reading and general events of the story. One by one, students say an event that happened in the story (no repeating allowed) and then arrange themselves in a line in front of the class, sequentially, according to the event they chose. In deciding where in the line to stand, teacher asks students where the student should stand and student then makes a choice. Teacher checks with students to see if they agree or disagree, and, if someone disagrees, he/she will defend their choice.

2. __**Characters**__--Students will pick a character (or characters) from the story and describe him/her/them in writing, without. Then students read their descriptions and classmates try to guess who they are talking about. Next, using their chosen character(s), students pick out two or three quotes/descriptions from the story that they feel best describe the character(s) and why. While music plays, students will mill around without talking. When music stops, students will read ONE of their quotes to the nearest person (partner up) and explain their reasoning. When everyone is back in their seats, teacher will have some students share their character and quote/description along with their reasoning.

3. __**Virtual** **Gallery Walk/Voice Thread**__--Teacher will post various pictures and descriptions from the story on Voice Thread. Students must log into their Voice Thread account and comment on the various pictures/text and respond to questions from the teacher, if any are posed. They must also dialog with and/or respond to four other student's comments. Students are graded based on use of target language, addressing and answering questions, and interaction with classmates. media type="custom" key="10001981"
