PREDICTIONS
Based on your reading of Chapter 1 and your analysis of the cover, make THREE PREDICTIONS about what you think is going to happen in the novel.
For each prediction, include a REASON why BASED ON THE NOVEL. Use a relevant CONNECTIVE to link your prediction and your reason.
For example:
1) I think that Fliss is going to fall off the cliff while she is on the school trip because she had a dream about walking on "the high road above the sea" (p.1) before she went on the trip.
