FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Anticipation Guide for the novel Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher”

by Juggling ELA
7th - 12th Grade



This is an anticipation guide to use with your students prior to reading the popular young adult novel Thirteen Reasons Why (13 Reasons Why) by Jay Asher.

Anticipation guides are a great pre-reading activity.

In an anticipation guide students respond to various statements that in one way or another relate to the book.

These statements are meant to prompt a class discussion about topics relating to the book.

I find that anticipation guides get the students interested in the book before they begin to read it.

There is no answer key because students are stating their own opinions.

*This anticipation guide can also be used before viewing the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
