Tuck Everlasting Chapter Tasks

Students will be given chapter tasks to complete for our novel study every few days. The first set (1-3) is due today and the second set (4-6) is due next Wednesday. I will collect both sets next week so students can bring their notebooks home this weekend. I am posting these tasks below; however, they should also be glued and completed in the language notebooks.

2. Why do you think that Tuck only smiled when he was asleep?
3. Why does Mae only see her boys every ten years?
4. How would you feel if you were put in Winnie’s situation?
