The Odyssey Pre-Reading Learning Stations
6 different learning stations with notes to accompany them. They may need to be edited depending on your curriculum/essential questions. This requires students to do research for most stations. I printed them out and put them in acrylic sign holders around my classroom. I also used big easel pad sticky posters for stations 1 and 4, but you could also just use your whiteboard if you don't have access to those.
