• Students will begin class by answer the question posted on Padlet . Create a new post on the board.
• We will be creating "tweets" from the characters in the novel. Each tweet will be posted on the correct character's "twitter page".
• At the end of class, students will walk around the room  to view all the characters tweets and put a sticky note by the one they would like to discuss or one that they feel is the best. If time allows, we will read some of the sticky-noted tweets aloud to the class. Points will be awarded for participation.
