Great!
After reviewing test scores and speaking with the teachers in other departments we became concerned that many of our students were not critical thinking across the disciplines. I taught this booklet at the end of a novel in response the gap we were seeing. I walked the students through each page. Some pages they did independently, some completely modeled, and some a combination of modeled and group work. Overall, they turned out wonderfully and I could see the students thinking deeper and more critically. My biggest issue with this was that it was way too long (22 pages) and not editable. I loved the over all idea of this booklet but it is a time commitment and needs careful planning especially if you have students who are lower performing or easily overwhelmed (there are no directions on the students pages). The end results were amazing.
Greatest additional resource.. my kid really enjoyed this
This is so great for using with any novel for my GATE students! Thank you!
Thank you!

Answer key included?
Could this be assembled in a duotang?
Absolutely! You might want to do a test run with the hole punches before you do a mass print, but I don't think you'll have any trouble.
Do you, or any teachers who have used this have an exemplar you could share? I think that would be a HUGE help to my students as we work through this!
Unfortunately, we do not. However, there are detailed teaching notes and tips included.
I love this resource, and I would love to make pages into edibale PFDs (for hybrid teaching), but the document is secure. Is there anyway I could have access so I can make these into edible documents for students at home? Thank you so much!

Where are the pages to print?
Hi Kayla, The student pages begin on page 34 of the pdf.
Hi!
I was wondering whether there was an A4 version of this booklet. I have purchased this already but would love to be able to utilise the tabs.
Regards,
Esther
Hi Esther! It only comes in 8.5x11, unfortunately.
Good evening,
Would you happen to have this resource in a digital format that could be used/shared through Google and Google classroom? We are 1:1 and would love to use this resource digitally.
Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital version at this time.
On page 12 of the PDF, you used "right" when I think you meant "write". You might want to fix that.
Thank you, Theresa! I just corrected the error. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Hi,
I teach secondary world language, and would love to use some of your materials, especially this Critical Thinking Booklet because of it's multi level application. I love the format, but would need to translate the doc into Spanish, so I am wondering if it is editable? If not, I will cross my fingers that someday you can offer these wonderful resources in other languages! Thanks for your time? Celeste
Hi Celeste! Unfortunately, I do not have an editable version. I would like to offer Spanish versions someday and hope to find a reliable translator to do this. Thank you for your interest.
I would love to have both the depth and complexity task cards and response booklet for general non fiction articles and books. Please create these products, I'm sure they will be a success!
Hello! Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will definitely keep it in mind for a future projects.
