Students love having their own little notebooks. Teachers love having students think deeply about text. And who doesn’t love the I Survived series?

Combine all of this good stuff with my book study for I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912. It's easy to prepare and can be used in several ways: independent book study, partner reading assignment, student book club, guided reading group, or even a guided whole class book study! (Note: Each student using this book study should have a copy of the book. Actual book not included.)

22 reader's notebook printables are included, specifically designed for the book, I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912. The basic framework of the book study has students read two chapters of the book at a time, then complete two notebook pages covering the pair of chapters just read.

Here is a breakdown of the types of notebook pages included in the resource:

• Notebook Cover Sheet
• Notebook Checklist: a table of contents for the notebook, allowing students to keep to a schedule and track completed pages
• "Before You Begin the Book" Page: a preview page done before students start reading
• "Step In" Pages: these pages step IN to the story, asking questions about the characters and the events happening in the story. (8 "Step In" pages are included, one after every two chapters.)
• "Step Out" Pages: these pages step OUT of the book, asking questions about author choices, literary devices, and story structure. (8 "Step Out" pages are included, one after every two chapters.)
• "Look Ahead" Vocabulary: a section at the end of "Step Out" pages introducing upcoming vocabulary words
• "After You Finish the Book" Page: a post-reading page concerning the whole book
• Book Club Insert (Optional): an agenda to guide book club meetings
• Discussion Questions (Optional): a page with three big questions to discuss after reading the book, then to write an extended response to one

Formats include:

• Half-Page layout
• Full-Page layout
• Answer Key

(Note: In the half-page layout, two copies of each page will print on each sheet of paper. With each set you print/copy, you'll chop the sheets in half and staple along the top edge, creating two fun little notebooks! If you need only one notebook, I've also included a single-student version to help you save paper.)
