Tired of assigning stale study-guide questions? Mix it up with NOVEL NOTES, engaging and visually appealing student-directed graphic organizers that work for any fiction text. A paperless download is also included! When I’m reading a novel with my classes, I usually make a packet of all the notes (printed back-to-back) for each student. I generally require students to complete all six of the handouts, in any order. Sometimes I’ll tell them the chapters to focus on, and other times, I let them choose. The questions are open-ended and thought-provoking, allowing students to do their best work, regardless of what chapter they are reading. Additionally, these Novel Notes are perfect for independent reading. The questions work for any chapter of any text, and even if students are reading different books, they can still complete the same notes page and have unique responses. I love the way these novel notes are differentiated for students of varying abilities. ** ALSO--These are now updated with a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD to use online with your Distance Learning or Paperless classroom!** Other ways you could use these: **Use during Literature Circles instead of traditional role sheets **Group students and have each student complete a different page for the chapter required, allowing for plenty of unique discussions **Leave this novel notes for a sub-plan, so that your novel study doesn’t get sidetracked ***************************************************************************************************************************** You might also be interested in the following resources from my store: Argument Essay Unit Response to Literature Essay Unit Parenthetical Citation and Quote Integration ***************************************************************************** Let's Connect!
