AMONG THE HIDDEN NOVEL PACKET Do NOT spoil the book/plot for any of your classmates or

other teams. This packet will be tracked, spot checked, and portions

of it will be graded over the course of the next month while we read.

Follow the schedule for daily reading assignments. If you are absent, you will still be required to catch up on reading.

While reading you will track your thinking in this packet with the following:

Characters – Track the characters throughout the story. Does their view change? Their personality? Their bravery? Who is the protagonist? Antagonist?

Inferences – What are the characters/author really saying? Predictions – Do you think what you know will happen later in the story?

Most of this will be read in class. There may; however, be days where we do not finish and it will be your homework to get the assigned chapters read that evening before class the following day.

Additionally, there will be several journal entries that you will record in writer’s journal. These are not outlined on the calendar above.

Anticipation Guide – Among the HiddenPART ONE!Before reading the novel, write “yes” if you agree with the statement, “no” if you disagree with the statement, and “?” if you don’t have a strong opinion about the statement.

Yes = I agree No = I disagree ? = I don’t knowBefore

ReadingStatement

1) Having a loving family fulfills our basic human needs.2) All members of a group should be treated equally.

3) It is never alright to cover up the truth.

4) It is unnatural for people to have an attachment to someone they don’t really know well.

5) The purpose of life is to strive for, and eventually reach, our goals and dreams at any cost.

6) If someone shares a secret with you, even if it is about something illegal, it is never alright to tell anyone about it.

7) Running away from your family and home is never acceptable.

PART TWO!

After completing the “Before Reading” column on your own, get into small groups and record your group members’ names on the back of this sheet. Using the chart below, as a group, tally the number of “yes,” “no,” and “?” responses for each question.

Once you have collected your data, discuss those issues about which your group was divided. Make your case for your opinions, and pay attention to your classmates’ arguments. It’s okay to disagree – it’s not okay to be disrespectful.

5

Journal Entries – Not all of these will be completed more than likely; however, we will reflect on the majority of these questions as we read. This may be in the form of a class discussion, a journal entry, or homework. Journal 1: Are dreams and goals important? Why? How do you think people feel when their dreams aren’t fulfilled? Do some people have unrealistic dreams? Why do you think this happens? Journal 2: What is the difference between being along and loneliness? Write about a time or situation in which you felt particularly alone or lonely.Journal 3: What do you think would happen if everyone were free to do whatever they pleased? How far should the government go to protect our lives? Journal 4: Is there really such a thing as true happiness? How would you define true happiness? Journal 5: Describe a time you wanted something so badly you would do almost anything to get it. How did it feel to get/not get what you wanted? Journal 6: What are the characteristics of a good leader? What are the characteristics of a bad leader? How can leadership be used for evil? Journal 7: Most people feel that honesty is the best policy. Is it ever okay to lie? If so, when is it okay? Journal 8: Sometimes the course of our lives can be changed in an instant. Whether it is a change for the positive or negative, it can sometimes bring surprising results. Discuss a time when major change was introduced into your life.Journal 9: What is courage? What makes a hero?Journal 10: Describe the room you would like to have if you were not allowed to “exist.” What would you want in it? Take into account that during the day, no one can know that someone is living in your house. Also include what you would do while other people are playing and having fun in the outside world, when you are not allowed to leave your house.
