Hoot Study Questions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

After reading each chunk of two chapters of Carl Hiaasen's novel Hoot, ask learners to respond to related study questions. The instructions at the top of the questions suggest that individuals should read the questions first, read the chapters next, and respond to the questions last, looking back into the text if they don't know the answers. Since the resource lists many questions, you could assign them for homework, work through them as a class, or ask pairs to collaborate to respond.
