Novel study – sort and predict activity
Below are several words taken from Hit Squad by James Heneghan. Working with a small group, do the following:
- Think about the novel’s title, Sticks and Stones
- Cut or tear this sheet so that each word is on a separate piece of paper
- Sort the words into an order that makes sense to you. (the goal here is NOT to make sentences. The selected words aren’t designed to do that.)
- Use your order to predict what the novel will be about and write a prediction.
