Each group will create a literate guide on the Wiki for a set of chapters in the book. Each guide should contain a section on vocabulary, literary elements, discussion questions, project area and a short quiz. The sections should be linked together.

After the guides are complete, each student will complete a vocabulary activity, literary elements and discussion questions from the other groups’ guides. Each student will then choose one project to complete (from any guide) and all of the short quizzes.

Please follow the guidelines below for each section:

1.     Vocabulary- List 20 words with definitions. Using at least 10 of the words,create a crossword puzzle, word scramble or matching game for other groups to complete. Check this site for more game ideas. Click here for special instructions to add a crossword puzzle or image.
