It's been a little while since we read Maximum Ride. Here is a fun a little activity. Imagine Maximum Ride is being made into a movie and you are the casting director. Choose actors to play each of the characters from the book. Include reasons why you think they would be best suited for their respective roles. Make sure you include all the members of the Flock, Jeb, Ari and any other characters you feel would be important to the movie. Post your responses in your Evernote Language notebook. Have fun!
