14. Station 4: Guess Who
15. Create a fake tweet using Tweetgen that describes an event from the book. Have the students match the tweet to the character from the book. For this one you could use a picture of each character and place it on a different color of construction paper. For the tweets, you can have the twitter handle be the name of the person and a # which tells the students the order that they would use for the google form.
16. Station 5: Themes of 1920
17. Have a 3x3 grid of 9 themes from the 1920’s with their definitions or explanations. Have pictures that represent each theme. Each picture must include a number or mathematical operation (+,-,X,or/). The themes on the left and right get numbers and the middle column gets operations. Each line becomes a formula. The answer gets put into the Google Form.
