I am using these with my GATE students for our book clubs. Since we focus on the depth and complexity icons, these are perfect for group discussions.

Description

This resource includes 11 individual mini-books (one for each element of critical thinking-) that can be used with ANY novel. The mini-books measure about 5 x 7 inches, contain 3-5 pages, and can be glued into an interactive notebook or lapbook. They can be used as a concluding project once students have finished a novel, or they can be completed based on smaller reading selections within a book (chapters, pages, etc.). Each of the 11 books comes with detailed teaching notes.
