What are the five most important events in Chapter 3?
After listening to the whole of Chapter 3, answer this question.
Identify the five most important events and then number them 1–5 in order of importance, rather than trying to write them in order immediately.
Did _________ choose the same events as ________? Is there any event that all the groups chose? Is there any event that we all agree with?
What do you think of this statement?
example;
“I agree because if the test tubes weren’t smashed, Maxwell wouldn’t have been able to sneak out with the maths books; then he wouldn’t have been caught; he wouldn’t have had a detention; he wouldn’t have been late home; he wouldn’t have found Monster and wouldn’t have saved his life.”
Reading activity – explore the relationship between Maxwell’s Mum and Dad and how Lisa Thompson creates/describes this for the reader.
