Follow the directions below to complete the activity. Read “Summer Diamond Girl” on pages 192-195. Make a list of FIVE character traits to describe Toni, the author of the essay, on the left side of the Evidence Chart. Quote parts of the text that show/tell you about Toni’s character on the right side of the Evidence Chart. Open the Corkulous App on the iPad by tapping it with your finger. Touch the filing cabinet in the bottom left-hand corner of the iPad screen. Select a yellow post-it, and type your full name, class period, and date on it. Select the tape, post-its, or index card option from the opened filing cabinet and type: Toni “Summer Diamond Girl” This posting should be larger and more visible than other items on the corkboard. Choose another option from the filing cabinet (tape, post-it, or index card) and type a character trait that describes Toni. You can choose the color, sizes, fonts, and where you want to position the items. Repeat Step 8 with a different character trait until you have posted FIVE character traits.
