We have just begun to read Schooled by Gordon Korman. You made a prediction about the story on your bookmark using only the information from the cover of the book. After reading chapter 1-5, make another prediction based on the new information you learned about Capricorn Anderson. Post the response here. We will check back here later to see if your predictions were accurate.
