Class Action Lit Log (novel study) (For Distance or Classroom Learning)

This is a lit log by MrsDsEducationalTools for Class Action (by Steven B. Frank), an awesome realistic fiction, written from the point of view of an eleven year old boy, who with his sister, friends, and a retired neighbor file a class action lawsuit arguing that homework is unconstitutional. Students will truly be able to relate to this book.

The key focus skills of the lit log are:

- use text to explain/draw inferences/cite evidence

- determine them/central idea/summarize

- describe/compare/contrast/analyze characters, setting, events

- use text to determine the meaning of words/phrases

- compare/contrast/describe/explain/analyze point of view

This lit log can be used for direct reading instruction (guided reading, novel study, literature circle, close reading) or for a guide for a read aloud.

Reading Level of Text: 4th-5th grade

Interest Level of Text: 4th-7th grade

I hope this lit log is helpful for you and/or your students.
