Intended Learning Outcomes:   The students should be able to effectively summarize the chapter we are focusing on.
Instructional Procedures: Before the lesson begins, the students should have read chapter four of the book.  We will come together and quickly brainstorm the main ideas and characters of the chapter.  As a group, we will get on the website and write down all the concepts we discussed in a spider graph.  From that we will put them in chronological order, and synthesize the ideas into a summary of the chapter.  This will help remind them of what happened in the chapter when we revisit it after we have completed the book.
Extensions:   We can use an online art program to draw a picture of the highlight of the chapter.
Assessment Plan:   Have them write a summary of their own, compare, and see if all the main parts of the chapter are there.
