Puzzlemaker activity:


Choose vocabulary words, names, and places from this realistic fiction novel and line them up so that there is a quote or phrase that runs down through all of them. Write clues for each line. Exchange your puzzle for one created by a fellow reader and try to solve each other's puzzle. This provides a clever way to review the storyline. See the partial sample below. Create a complete puzzle of your own using graph paper or a spreadsheet program on the computer.
