If there are any issues from yesterday that you want to discuss with the class, do so before students begin reading. Otherwise, they can start the Book Club period by reading Chapter 16.
In community share, ask volunteers to share their character maps for Peter. What new information from Chapter 16 did they add to their maps? Ask them why they think Lois Lowry chose to save this information until the end of the book. Did any students figure out that Peter was in the Resistance before this point? If so, what clues led them to this conclusion?
Revisit the issues of theme and climax. What did they learn about bravery (and about any other themes) in Chapter 16? Did this chapter provide any more evidence about when the climax of the story occurred?
Encourage students to ask any questions that are puzzling them about the story. Make sure that everyone understands what Uncle Henrik explained to Annemarie. Tell students that they will learn more in Chapter 17 and in the Afterword.
