They make predictions and inferences about TJ's character, TJ and Stacey's friendship, Mr. Morrison's character, the situation with Mr. Tatum, When TJ "goes back for his cap", and the incident at the Wallace Store based on quotes from the text. You could have them do it while reading individually, with a partner, or in a small group. It could be done during or after reading the assigned pages.
