Make predictions about what could happen next in the book.
I think that Greg ends up living with Brad and Holly for a while, because what Greg's Dad and Mum thought of him when he wanted to become a rally driver and mechanic, when his Dad thinks he should be like his siblings when Greg doesn't want to be.
Why do you think these ideas might happen?
Maybe because that's how some things have been going on with Greg, and maybe wants to move out so he can do the things he wanted to do.
For todays reading the class has picked some books to read for the rest of the term and get to pick 2-3 questions to anwser on the board.
What impression do you get from the front cover? What can you infer about the book?
I can tell that the front cover is going to be about being in a rally car and being a mechanic, with this boy and he wants to do both of those things.
Read the blurb on the back does this interst you? Why/Why not?
Yes it intersts me because I think the book is going to be intersting, it's about this boy called Greg wanting to drive a rally car and become a mechanic which is what I'm intersted in as well.
