Don’t Get Caught.

To start off the new school year, we started a new project: read a book, and then make a movie trailer about the book. I think the movie trailer idea is very good because it will squeeze an overview of the entire book into one short video. Our class was split up into groups of 4 people and each were assigned a book for their group. I was put in a group with Daniel, Jamie, and Alivia. The book we are assigned is “Don’t Get Caught” by Kurt Dinan.

What I know about the story so far is that it is about a kid named Max that is invited to join a prank group called the chaos club. I am excited to see what pranks the characters in the book pull off. Our Inquiry question for this project is: How do authors use text to teach us more about ourselves? I predict that this inquiry question will somehow need to be answered in our final video project. My main prediction for the book is that the chaos club will try to pull off their biggest prank yet and that they will end up getting caught and in huge trouble.

________________________________________________

My predictions were true! So far our group has read up to chapter 7 and the main character in the book already got in trouble. Ill explain, In the beginning the main character, max, gets a letter in his locker. The letter says that the chaos club wants him to join, The letter tells him to go to the water tower outside the school in the middle of the night to meet the chaos club but it ends up being a setup, max and a few other poepole who we’re invited to join the chaos club all we’re framed with spray painting the water tower. Now that you are updated on what has happened in the book so far, I can tell you what our latest book assignment was. Our latest assignment was to act out three scenes from the book and upload the video to youtube.
