I have to make up an activity to entertain hs sutdents but at the same time teach them about this section of a book. Any ideas?

My students love the fly-swatter game. Make up a bunch of questions about the section of the book you are studying. Put the answers to the questions (one answer per sticky note) on sticky notes. Randomly place the sticky notes on the board.
Divide your class into teams. You will need one new flyswatter (buy flimsy cheap ones at your dollar store) per team. Each team will send one person to the board. You read the question. The first team to slap the correct answer with his flyswatter wins the point. Remove the sticky note with the correct answer from the board.
Two new people go up and a new question is read. This continues until all sticky notes are gone. The winning team is rewarded with whatever prize or privilege you believe is appropriate.
My classes love this game. They beg to play it.

Instead of entertaining them with a game, try having students create tableaus of important events from the novel.
A tableau used in this way is like a freeze frame, where a group of students must position themselves in a freeze frame--without moving or talking; yet, the rest of the class must know which important event they are depicting.
After a few guesses, let the groups discuss what they attempted to do, how they chose the stand, and why they thought their tableau was important.
High School kids like this because they have the freedom to be creative; yet, try to stump their classmates.
Good Luck....

Add music into the education. Use popular songs and concentrate on what the lyrics say. The information gather could be used to further prove your lesson.

What year are these students, freshman might enjoy games, but juniors and senors do not. I would much rather my teachers have a lesson planned instead of a game.

I had a lot of teachers that would make up a "jeapordy" style game. We all always enjoyed them.
