Teacher Tip: Check Past Predictions
Before your students make new predictions for the next chapter, encourage them to review their predictions from the chapter before. What did they get right? Try a turn-and-talk for students to share their answers.

This activity is inspired by Rachel Jamison, a fifth grade teacher at Clubview Elementary in Columbus, Georgia. Watch her full review video for advice about how to use Goosebumps: Night of the Living Dummy as a novel study with your class in Book Talks.
