 * We recently used Glogs as a presentation format for students to present their understanding of the protagonist in a novel of their choice. The following deep reading skills were included
 * Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions
 * Comparing and Contrasting a Character's change over time
 * Describing Character's motivations, behaviors, personality, actions, and relationships with other characters
 * After the required Glog was completed, several students have begun a separate, independent Glog about a new novel of their choice.
