Summary - Miranda is just trying to make sense of the world, her family and why her friends keep changing. This book is an amazing introduction to what science fiction is, real life with a twist. Miranda is convinced something is off and she can’t quite decide what it is until the very end, when she watches the future Marcus die in a crash that would have hurt so many more people if he hadn’t been there.
Book review - When looking at books that have this much complex information in such a small package it is a wonder how they are not intimidating to students. What sets this book apart from the rest though is that the content is still relevant and interesting. When using this book as a lesson, I would personally use the book as a read aloud that students could use as a practice tool for comprehension that would work sort of like a practice for the ELA listening section.
Activity - Throughout the book students will create and maintain character profiles to show comprehension and understanding of a complex text. In addition they will give their character addition traits and an alter-ego future version.
Goal - Students will use the text to determine how characters will act and react to situations and their personalities.
Standard - CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2 - Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.
Objective - Students will be able to listen and comprehend the story while taking detailed notes on specific characters. Students will use their notes to create profiles of their characters and to determine their characters roles in the story.
Outcome - Students will be able to share their ideas on their characters with their class and be able to receive and provide feedback.
