5.  Whose Phone is This
Time to work on this project.  Will be due next week.

1. Wallpaper:  Sketch the character's cell phone Wallpaper choice with coloured pencils/ or a magazine collage of images. Then explain why this image choice would appeal to this character.

2. Email or Text - this character just received two messages. Thinking back over the reading, explain which other characters just sent message to this character and what is the content of  each message.

3. Playlist/ Movie/ Series list - Write three song titles with artists names that would likely be on this character's playlist. Be sure to explain your reasoning as to why these three songs would appeal to this character.

ie. "Waiting on the world to change" by John Mayer -  Jett has gone through so much in the last few months that he is kind of wishing that the world would stop so he could get off.  So, he would want change to happen - he just doesn't realize that he is integral in making change happen.

Homework: Finishing off the phone sheets. Next week we meet with Kaia to celebrate our last day of Spider Classes.

Message from Kara: I am going to miss you all and hope that I will have the lucky opportunity to teach you again
