“An Alternate Ending”
In this activity, students will recreate the final chapters of Wolf Hollow producing an alternate ending for Toby.
In the final chapters, Toby is killed because of the accusations Betty made against him. Use details from the novel to write an alternative ending for Wolf Hollow. Consider these questions as you develop your ending:
Share your alternative ending with peers, comparing your ending to the novel’s ending.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may find it beneficial to analyze the points in the text that create tension so that they know where to begin the alternative ending for the story. For example, if Toby is declared innocent too soon in the novel, the students may lose the attention of their audience.
