  1. Tuck Everlasting

    Pre-reading questions for responses by chapter.
  2. Directions Read the questions before reading the chapter. Write the chapter number in to your journal. Write the question in your journal. Make sure to leave plenty of room for your answer (3 or 4 lines) As you read, write any words that are especially difficult in a box at the bottom of the page- for discussion. Once you have completed the chapter, go back and answer the question(s). You also need to TITLE the chapter on your TOC. Develop a question, prediction, observation, or connection. Draw a symbol on the back of each journal page to represent the chapter.
  3. Prologue What three things happened that “appeared to have no connection”? How many wheels were mentioned in this chapter? What were they in reference to?
  4. This is what should be written in your journal What three things happened that “appeared to have no connection”? The three things that occurred that did not seemingly have a connection are Mae Tuck is meeting her sons like she does every 10 years, Winnie Foster has decided to run away, and a stranger has appeared at the gate of the Foster house. How many wheels were mentioned in this chapter? What were they in reference to? There are 3 wheels. One wheel is the sun, one wheel is the Ferris wheel (seasons), and the other wheel is the car wheel.
  5. What is a symbol? The author will sometimes use an object, person, place, or event that has meaning in itself and stands for something larger than itself. It is referred to more than once so that it is more memorable. The symbol for the prologue is the wheel because it is the central object in the chapter and referred to many times. Draw a wheel on the backside of the journal page for the prologue.
  6. Chapter 1 Why aren’t the Fosters curious about the wood they own? What was located by the giant ash tree at the center of the wood?
  7. Chapter 2 Why do you think that Mae Tuck doesn’t care about her appearance any more? What did Mae Tuck carry in her pocket when she went into the wood?
  8. Chapter 3 Who was the only one to hear Winnie Foster’s troubles, her plans, and her dreams? How does Winnie Foster’s life compare and contrast to your life?
  9. Chapter 4 What is your first impression of the man in the yellow suit? According to Winnie’s grandmother, what was the sound that came from the wood?
  10. Chapter 5 Why did Winnie go into the wood? What do you think Jesse is thinking when he tries to prevent Winnie from drinking the spring water?
  11. Point of View

  13. Chapter 7 What was peculiar when Jesse fell out of the tree some eighty-seven years ago? Why do you think that Mae and Angus Tuck have a certain “dialect”?
  14. Dialect and dialogue Dialect is a form of language that is spoken by people in a certain place or by a certain group of people. Writers use dialect to make the characters more realistic. Dialogue is when one character is talking to another character. It is usually shown in quotation marks in the text.

  37. Final Activity Now that Tuck Everlasting is completely read, you will be revisiting the Pre-reading anticipatory questions sheet. Do you still feel the same way about your answers?
  38. Theme A theme is the general message about life (life lesson)that is presented through the characters and actions in a story. It is what the author wants you to remember most. Occasionally the theme is stated and not implied gradually throughout the story/passage. Theme is always a statement and NOT just a word. Different readers can have different themes. This is fine as long as it can be supported by evidence from the text.
