other teachers and the web (of course!) for this novel.

Comprehension
Character Web
This character web breaks down all the
things a character says, what other say about the character and the
character's actions. This web is about Judd Travers and how
the author shows, rather than tells what kind of person he is.
Venn Diagram
Compares Marty (protagonist) to Judd
(antagonist).

Crossword
Crossword Questions
Crossword Answers
I have had students complete the
crossword before reading in order to reinforce and introduce
vocabulary.
Class Books
I have also had students make class
books. Each student is given a vocabulary word. On a sheet of
paper they write the word, define it, use it in a sentence and then
draw a picture. Students share with the class. Then all
pages are bound into a book.
Response
to Literature
Friendly Letter
Friendly Letter Rubric
Students write a friendly letter to
teacher in which they identify favorite parts, make connections, and
ask questions.
Cumulative
Projects
Art Project
Students can create a wanted poster of
Judd describing the character and citing all the things that
he has done wrong. Good follow up to the character web.
Mock Trial
This is an activity from the Teacher
Created Materials Book. Students simulate a Mock Trial where
Judd is on the defense for animal cruelty. Students develop
roles and create questions for the prosecution and defense.
Examples of questions student have created.
