 * Materials Needed: **

§ The students will enter class and work in groups to go over their homework. To form the groups, the students will find two to three other students with the same hobby they have. Each student will write their favorite hobby on a piece of paper and then find classmates with the similar or same ones. 10-15mins § Within the groups the students should talk about their reading question answers. Afterwards, the class will discuss the questions and clarify any misunderstandings. § After going over the reading questions, the students will receive their final vocabulary words. The teacher will have already put them on the board and the students are to copy them down along with their definitions. 5-10mins § Once students have written down the vocabulary words, they will finish the rest of the story. 15mins § When it seems that everyone has finished the teacher will introduce the Tree Diagram. The students will form a Tree Diagram (which they have already learned how to do in math class) dealing with the characters motives. After looking at the end of their chapter questions about motives, the students can easily complete the diagram. They should also think about how they would react in the situation. This is an individual project. 20-30mins
