During- Students will Read-Write-Pair-Share about anything they find interesting, confusing, or important.
After- Students will discuss the power of kindness. Students will create a Voki about kind acts by saying what characters said or stating what characters did.
Writing Activity- Students will choose a character and write about they changed from the beginning of the story to the end.
