What educators are saying

Great resource! I was able to begin using this resource immediately. It is ready to go as is. I am using it in social studies rather than English or reading and loved that it allowed me to work on reading skills in the SS classroom!

Rated 5 out of 5

I use this in my sixth grade history class. It's a great way to give students more independence in their reading, but to also help them pace themselves.

Description

For a class novel, genre study, book clubs (literature circles), or independent reading, this packet will challenge your students to summarize the text and analyze story elements using textual evidence and critical thinking. The standards-based questions are open-ended enough to use with a variety of middle school novels.

Response prompts are provided in two formats: ten whole page worksheets for distribution one day at a time, or a packet to be folded and stapled into a fourth-page student booklet. Either way, two weeks worth of reading response questions are included.

Historical Fiction Genre tasks include:

Compare settings
Identify the narrator
Describe a character
Analyze imagery
Describe the conflict
Analyze integration of fact and fiction
Identify the effect of setting on plot and theme
Make text connections
Each day, summarize the text
