Activity 2: Post-It Game

Transition to #3:As we
think about the different
characters we also think
about what will happen to
them...

2.1 Pre-Stage: Brainstorm the list of

locations we read about in these
chapters. What characters were
associated with these places?
2.2. During Stage: Post-It Game!
Each student will receive a post-it
with a characters name. The post-it
will go on the students head, so they
dont see the character they have.
Students must ask questions to other
students to try and figure out what
character is on their post-it.
Rules: Questions can not be yes/no
questions. Questions must be using
information from the chapters we
read.
Example: What is most important to
my character?
After asking one question you must
find a new person to ask!

Post-Lesson Reflections: The instruction for the post-it game is a little bit vague, maybe
we should rephrase it next time.
