    As a summary check, each student builds a profile of a character among those present in the story and outlines it in a format similar to a Facebook diary. He then inserts the data, the context, information on relations with other characters and any other useful information to contextualize in the format. He can also, if he is able, imagine exchanges between the different characters in the book, just as if they were normal conversations on Facebook.
