    Common Core Standards:

    CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.1, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.1

    Structure:

    Get students excited about this activity by letting them know that they can get creative in their interpretations of the characters. Before they begin the role-playing activity, ask two student volunteers to model reading a dialogue from the book, first without feeling and then with feeling, so that they see how getting into the character’s head is the key for successful role-play.
