A summary from last nights reading…

Question 1

Question 2

Group Time!

Pick a piece of paper out of the container.Meet with the group that is designated by the

color of your paper. Green - Frankenstein Red - The Scarlet Letter Blue - The Great Gatsby Purple – To Kill a Mockingbird

If you have a star on your paper, come see us first! To get instructions about your mobile learning leader

role.

In your group…

In the next five-ten minutes, develop a short script based off of the main ideas of your assigned book and record it. The script must include:

Name of your group members, a short plot summary, themes of the book, and recurring symbols that are important.

The written script can be just enough for you to remember what you are going to say (bullet points are fine).

The recording should be NO more than 2 minutes. Each group member must dial-in as a guest and have a part

in the script; the group leader must dial-in as the host and must also have a part in the script. (Decide the order that you are speaking in before you dial-in to record).

Let’s take a listen…

We will randomly pick one group’s script to listen to.
