Before reading:
- Look at the cover of the book. What kind of story do you think it is? In which period of time is it set? - There are four events shown on the cover of the book. Describe them, then in pairs, try to guess what happens in the story. - Read the blurb on the back cover. Who do you think Jake is? How do you think the two men got burned? - Your teacher will give you the chapter titles in mixed order. In groups of three, try to re-arrange the titles and predict what happens in each chapter.
