It's great that you found what exactly they have in common with the character and worked from that. There is so much goodness (and genius) in that. You sound like an awesome teacher. Props to you!!

I am curious: how did you make sure they stayed quiet and actually read the whole time? I have large class sizes, too (32, though you are obviously beating me wIth 40!), and I find it hard to keep that many quiet and on task sometimes.
