Diary of a Wimpy Kid takes tween readers along on "The adventures of a 12-year-old (Greg Heffley) who is fresh out of elementary and transitions to middle school, where he has to learn the consequences and responsibility to survive the year." -IMDB Class will begin with a short and fun warm-up to engage students and get everyone in the space to participate. Students will then be guided through a series of multiple-choice and open-ended questions for full comprehension of the book plot. Through a finger-voting system, all students will have the ability to answer at the same time by submitting their answers via finger number. Throughout the class, students will be awarded a "brain break" puzzle which will keep them eagerly guessing till the end of class!
