Cite quotes from popular middle school literature.
Play and compete in a quote matching game.
Discuss well-known authors and their writing styles.

","materials","

For each student:

Pen or pencil

Notebook or notebook paper

For the whole group:

Copies of popular fiction books for middle school students

Wall-safe tape

","preparation","

Read and familiarize yourself with the activity. If feasible, conduct the activity in the school or local library or a classroom stocked with fiction titles for middle school students.

Gather copies of popular fiction books, about 1 copy for each student or student pair. You may wish to consult with librarians or language arts instructors for recommendations. Consider these choices:

Popular series, such as Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, the Twilight books, and A Series of Unfortunate Events

Books by popular authors for teens and pre-teens, such as Judy Blume, R. L. Stine, and Carl Hiaasen

Classic novels from authors such as Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jules Verne, and J. R. R. Tolkien

Award-winning books from contemporary authors, such as Kwame Alexander, Pam Munoz Ryan, and R. J. Palacio

Make a list of all the books that you distribute to the group. Be prepared to share this list with the group in step 8 of the activity.

","worksheets","multimedia","steps","

Show students some of the books you have collected for the activity. For each book, ask for a show of hands of students who have read it, and then ask a volunteer to describe the plot briefly.
Tell students that today they will be competing in a game of matching a quote to a book. Explain that you will award 2 winners: the student whose quote is most widely identified and the student who correctly identifies the most quotes.
Distribute copies of the books to students or student pairs. Allow students to claim their favorite books, as well as to exchange books with one another. You may allow several students to use the same book, but make sure a variety of books are represented.
Tell students to search through the book to find a quote representing the book, meaning that someone might guess the book based only on the quote. The quotes must follow these rules:
- The quote may not include a character's name or a proper name that immediately identifies the book. (Examples are quidditch or Hogwarts for a Harry Potter book or hobbit for a Tolkien book.)
- The quote should be 2 sentences at most.
- The quote must come from the text of the book itself and not the cover or a summary.
Circulate among the students and offer assistance as requested or needed. You may wish to approve quotes that students suggest.
When students are ready, have them copy the quote into their notebooks, along with the name of the sourcebook and page number. Then have them use large printing to copy the quote onto a sheet of notebook paper, and then tape it to the wall.
Number the papers on the wall for easy identification.
Share with students the list of books that are used in the activity. Distribute either a printed copy of the list or display the list on the board or an anchor chart.
Invite the group to view the gallery of quotes. Have them record in their notebooks their best guesses of the source of each quote.
When students are ready, review each quote individually. Read the quote, and then ask for volunteers to propose a sourcebook. Survey the group to see if they agree, and note any results that are unanimous or near-unanimous. Then invite the student responsible for the quote to announce the actual source.
After all quotes are reviewed, survey the group to award 2 winners: the student whose quote was identified by the most group members and the student who identified the most quotes.
Discuss the quote game with these questions. Ask:
- What clues helped you guess the book that a quote belongs to? (Clues include the writing style, which suggests whether the book is recent or a classic; references to the plot or story; and the vocabulary, which may suggest the age of the intended reader.)
- What did you learn about books and authors from playing this game?

","examples","versions","variations","

For a briefer activity, prepare a set of quotes and a list of their sourcebooks. Then display each quote to the group, and invite them to guess the matching source.
