So far, how are Jack and Annie acting differently from each other? Use details from this chapter to explain how their personalities show.
Example answer: I think Jack is acting more careful, while Annie is more ready to jump into action. Jack often tries to think things through and notice facts about where they are.

Chapter 5
What do you think Jack and Annie should be most careful about as they continue their adventure? Explain your prediction using clues from the chapter.
Example answer: I think they should be most careful around wild animals because they are visitors in the animals’ home. The jungle setting makes everything feel beautiful but also dangerous.

Chapter 9
Which part of this chapter was the most exciting, surprising, or tense to you? Describe what made it stand out.
Example answer: The most tense part to me was when Jack and Annie seemed unsure about what might happen next in the jungle. I could imagine the sounds and shadows around them, which made the scene feel suspenseful. It stood out because the adventure felt different from being at home in Frog Creek. I wanted to keep reading to see how they would handle it.

In class, as a novel study
Print a class set (booklets fold from plain letter paper) and use one question per chapter as the reading-response or literature-circle prompt. The example answers at the front show what a full answer looks like.
Homeschool
