1) Detect the author's hidden clues (words and phrases)
2) Use your background knowledge to make an inference (an educated guess) based off of the hidden clues.

Good luck!

Airborn Trilogy - Novel Study
Having just finished reading the "Airborn" Trilogy think of at least two questions you would like to ask Mr. Kenneth Oppel. Be creative and try not to ask him something he may have been asked several times before. To make sure you don't do this, check out the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of his website.
When you think you have at least two (2) well thought out questions, please post them on the class "Wallwisher" found below.
