    Description

    Save time and money with this awesome BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE BUNDLE!

    In this student-centered bundle you’ll find:

    ♦ a Because of Winn-Dixie NOTICE & NOTE SIGNPOST* NOVEL STUDY GUIDE designed for readers to closely examine the text through a rigorous, analytical lens!

    ♦ a super fun, Because of Winn-Dixie ESCAPE ROOM, perfect as a culminating collaborative activity!

    The NOTICE & NOTE product was designed to give teachers a detailed roadmap for navigating the bestselling novel Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo with the six Notice and Note Signposts: Contrasts and Contradictions; Aha Moment; Tough Questions; Words of the Wiser; Again and Again; and Memory Moment. The signposts are listed along with a "Think-Aloud" teacher script/note.

    There are a total of 74 signposts noticed and noted in this product.

    THE NOTICE & NOTE PRODUCT IS PRESENTED IN TWO FORMATS:

    ♥ comprehensive notices and notes organized BY CHAPTER; useful when focusing on all six signposts at once

    ♥ comprehensive notices and notes organized BY SIGNPOST; useful when targeting one signpost at a time

    The ESCAPE ROOM is designed to be used after reading the novel BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE by Kate DiCamillo. It assesses students’ knowledge of major story events (Task #1), characters (Task #2), vocabulary (Task #3), and theme (Task #4 with the Quote Reflection) through the use of 4 coded stations. This product also allows students to reflect on themselves as learners (Escape Room Reflection).

    How the ESCAPE ROOM Works:

    → Station 1: Students sort through Plot Cards to determine which events actually occurred in the text and put them in plot order. Doing so will reveal a hidden code.

    → Station 2: Students match characters to distinct character descriptions to reveal a hidden code.

    → Station 3: Students match vocabulary words extracted from the text to their respective definitions in order to reveal a hidden code.

    → Station 4: Retrieving clues in the previous stations, students work to decipher a secret message related to the text.

    This Comprehensive ESCAPE ROOM Product Contains:

    → background information on the novel, Because of Winn-Dixie

    → a 3-page, step-by-step How-It Works Teacher Guide

    → a 3-page Station Details: Teacher Guide

    → a Frequently Asked Questions tip sheet

    → Station Set-Up Instructions

    → an Escape Room Print Checklist

    → an Escape Room Student/Group Completion Checklist

    → a Certificate of Achievement for students

    → 4 Station Signs

    → 4 Clue Card Envelopes

    → 4 pages of Clue Cards

    → Task Card Directions

    → a Student Answer Book

    → an Answer Key

    → 2 Different Student Reflection Sheets

    If this is your first time implementing an Escape Room, rest assured that my goal is to make this as painless as possible! As such, I have included VERY detailed teacher guides to walk you through every step of the process.
