We completed a bell activity that used the book. The bell activity was all about plot. Students had to look up the definition of plot and answer some questions.

I then presented a PowerPoint on plot, and students took notes. Following the PowerPoint, students demonstrated their understanding through an open note quiz.

We also worked on writing. We discussed the different types of writing prompts-- expository, narrative, and persuasive--and discussed the ways that students can identify and answer each prompt type.
