Pre-activity: Have the students write in their journal what they think this book is going to be about. (2-3 paragraphs)
Post-activity: As we read through the chapters the students must write a blog for each chapter. They must also comment on each other blogs. (5-6 comments)
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I feel this is a great novel for young teens. It really makes them think throughout each chapter as well as provides battle scenes that some young teens find very interesting.
