    The activities I do with my 7th graders depends on the year.
    Sometimes we complete a Webquest. We work with vocabulary,
    prereading activities and use our class notebooks. Ex - we
    stop reading and students make a prediction in their
    notebooks. They might have to pick three words to describe a
    character after reading a paragraph. We keep lists of
    characters. We laugh! Sometimes I point out funny scenes they
    miss (the haystack on fire); other times I slide right on by
    (curiously flat between the legs). We are reading the book
    aloud, but students may read at home and finish the book
    early. I've found great ideas online and have made up
    worksheets, study guides, etc.
