- "Time to put your books away and take your phones out. Let's review your reading from last night. Here's the code to text to the number from Polleverywhere.com to join our session. Don't have a phone? That's ok, let's make sure there's at least one phone per table so you can share."
- "Mrs. Walden, it's not working. I'm getting an error message."
- "Is anyone else having a problem like this? No? Ok, let's brainstorm. What could be causing this issue?"
- "Oh, wait. I forgot. My provider doesn't let me text certain numbers."

- "Yeah! That works for me."
- "Great. Let's get started."

- "Yep."
- "Mrs. Walden, can we use Wikipedia?"

- "Fabulous. Now let's get back to our discussion."

- "Ok, in your table groups, I want you to work together to physically represent the main action in a scene. I will give each table a different scene that you read last night. I need one member of each group to take a picture and email it to me. Remember, I want to see emotion on your faces and purpose in your poses."
