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.
