Pre-viewing activity - Judging a book by its cover

2
Look at the picture and the title:
  • What can you say about the boy?
  • What other characters can you see?
  • What can you say about their relationship?
  • What kind of story do you expect?
  • What might be the central conflict
  • Take notes
Maybe the boy is a Chinese immigrant who grows up in the US. He is holding a robot. Maybe it is his favorite toy which comes to life and
maybe later in the story becomes his best friend. Perhaps the friendship to the robot is the only friendship the boy has because it is hard for him as Chinese immigrant to find friends in the US.
