Students will use Popplet to define key vocabulary terms, which can be found in the Quizlet on slide #7 of the Gagne Lesson Slides. This activity allows students to recall these important words and their corresponding definitions, which are so crucial to learning the overall topic, in a visual way.

Students will create a VoiceThread to demonstrate their understanding of characters and their traits, motivations, and feelings. They will post a picture of their favorite storybook character as the background, and then use the comment feature to film a video of themselves speaking about that character: who they are, what story they're from, 3 of their character traits, and 3 feelings they feel throughout the story. Then, they should spend a minute or two talking about what motivates that character to act in the ways that he/she does throughout the story, and how those actions contribute to the sequence of events.

Students will use Flipgrid to film a video response reflecting on and stating a few of their own character traits and feelings. They will also be asked to think about one big thing they did that day & what motivated them to do that. Lastly, the students will think about how that one big thing or action they did that day impacted any other things or actions they did for the rest of the day. Here we see that they are applying the information they have learned to the real world, and using it in a similar way by applying it to their own lives rather than a fictional storybook character's.

Students will use Canva to create a Venn diagram with the given templates. In the Venn diagram, students will compare and contrast the two assigned characters. They should take special note of each character's traits, feelings, actions, etc. in the story.

Students will work in groups to create a presentation using Google Slides. Each group will be assigned a story that we have read in class over the past few weeks. Each story will include 3-4 main characters. Each group member will be responsible for analyzing one character from their group's story. From there, they will have to identify each character's character traits (3), feelings (3), and motivations. They will have to find evidence of those aspects in the book, and list the page numbers that that evidence can be found on.

Students will use Kidblog to create a blog post. In the blog post, students will be asked to pick a story book character that they have read about whom they believe to possess the character trait of bravery. In other words: Who do you believe the bravest story book character is? In their blog post, they will have to defend their answer as to who they believe to be the bravest and argue why he/she is braver than any other character. They should also reflect on how this character's brave actions contributed to the story's sequence of events.
