Bell Ringer: For the first five minutes of class, students will listen to a sample mix made by the group for a character. This will both serve as a model for their project and get them thinking about the personalities and experiences of the characters.

Objectives: 1) Students will make a practice playlist in order to gain practice with effectively using the Spotify program. 2) Students will work collaboratively to make a playlist, working together in order to bring multiple tastes and opinions to the project. 3) Students will focus their playlist for the book itself or for a specific character in order to build understanding of what makes that character who they are.
