 * 8) Share tricky word strategies.
 * 9) In order to understand this book, we have to be kind of like detectives. There are a bunch of things to figure out about it. We made predictions about how Max would feel about his glasses. But it turned out that how he felt about his glasses changed. Let's tell what happened to Max's feelings at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
 * 10) How did he feel at first? And then what happened? (Why did how he felt change?) And how did he feel at the end?
 * 11) What made him feel better about his glasses at the end? Find evidence in the book for what changed his feelings.
 * 12) Where do you think his dad is? We have to **infer** where his dad is because the author never tells us, but we can make a good guess.
