Novel Study: The One and Only Ivan: Pre-Reading Activity

Prepare students for reading The One and Only Ivan by guiding them through this pre-reading activity! Students will complete an anticipation guide by reading several statements related to themes in the book and marking whether they agree or disagree with them. Then, they’ll choose one statement to respond to on the lines. Designed for third, fourth, and fifth graders, this pre-reading activity is part of a larger novel study unit on Katherine Applegate’s The One and Only Ivan.
