Book Study: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Pre-Reading Activity

Prepare students for reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind with these research and reflection prompts connected to the book! This one-page worksheet invites learners to make predictions and devise questions based on the book's cover, before engaging them with a two-part choice board. Readers will select one research topic and one reflection prompt to respond to, encouraging them to consider significant events and themes of the book. Students are then encouraged to share their predictions, findings, and reflections with others. This resource is a great tool to generate discussion among students before they begin reading the book.

This pre-reading activity is part of a larger book study unit on The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer.
