Pre Reading

Can you make some predictions with me about what you think the book will be about?
What does the the title and front cover make you think of?
What kind of a book is it? Fiction or non-fiction?
Is it an adventure, suspense, science fiction, sports genre? Or something else?
have you ever read anything like this before?

What do you think Gary Paulsen's purpose (reason) for writing the book was?

  2. I think it will be about survival.
    Adventure and survival.
    Non fiction.
    Adventure.
    I haven't read anything like this before.
    I think he wrote it for money.

  3. Not so much for the money I don't think, that came later now that the book (and series and movie) became popular. He actually had another purpose in writing about survival. Take another guess.

    I noticed you guessed non-fiction. I think you meant fiction but you are a little bit on the right track about the purpose in writing by making this guess.
