It would be cool to hand the Wordle out (nothing more, not even the title) to the class before reading have students in groups come up with the following:

• What is the story going to be about?
• Who might the main characters be?
• What will the setting be like?
• What is the tone of the story?
• What words might we need to define?
• What questions do you have about anything so far?
• Whatever else you can think of . . .

The groups should save their predictions and revisit them in journals during and after reading.

I think I will try this idea this fall and see what happens.
