We read chapters 7-8 aloud together in class but I only had them complete written questions for chapter 8. (You can purchase questions for all chapters in this reading packet for sale in my TpT store!)
We did the same thing for chapters 9-10 and I didn't pass out questions for either. Instead, we verbally retold chapter 9 using just the pictures as a guide, and we played a Kahoot to review the final two chapters together. This time, I told them to play not for speed, but accuracy because Kahoot allows you to download a spreadsheet with their answers at the end, so I put their scores into my grade book as an assessment. As a fun closer activity, I gave students one block day to complete this final project. Students were asked to make movies either re-enacting a chapter in detail or summarizing the whole book with only one sentence per chapter. If we had had more time, I would have allotted them 3 periods of in class time, but I wanted them to show their videos the day before winter break, so I told them to keep it as simple as possible. Most of them turned out pretty cute!

Thank you for your suggestions for BB quiere un perro. I have a tough 7th grade class this year and I needed some new ideas.
