Chapter 16

1. Lauren keeps having the same or a similar dream. Describe the dream.

2. Do you think it is just a dream or do you think it is a memory? What is the difference between a dream and a memory? Do you think they are ever the same?

3. “Little one, you found me” and “If I could only find her, then everything else would make sense. I would know who I was at last.” Discuss these quotes What do they tell us about Lauren?

4.Together, write some of your own ideas explaining how these quotes might help answer our essential question: “What does it mean to  belong?

5. Who is the “weirdo hermit butcher”? Why does Lauren describe him this way?

Chapter 17

1. Glane says, “But Lauren, this is all inside your head. It is not real.”

a. What do you think Glane is referring to?

b. Do you think this is a nice thing to say to Lauren? Why or why not?

c. Do YOU think Glane is correct and it is all inside her head? Give reasons for your answer.

2. We also discover that Jam was upset to leave Lauren on her own in the snowy woods. What does this tell you about their friendship?

3. Using any of the chapters read so far, list 2 examples of internal conflict and the character experiencing it and 2 examples of external conflict identifying the character(s) involved.

Today we will just do one exercise from a "mock" national test- reading....

The rest of the time you can use to prepare for Wednesday's "Girl Missing" seminar
