This document provides instructions for an emoji challenge activity where students will create a folio book summarizing scenes from Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing using emojis. It explains that a folio is made up of several quatros (single sheets of paper folded to form 4 pages). Students are asked to select which scene from the play is summarized by a given set of emojis and explain their reasoning. The document outlines the various sections that should be included in the folio such as a front page, list of characters, list of scenes, emoji summary for each scene, and back page with a brief description. Students are also challenged to add a key quote and drawing for each scene.
