I used this resource in conjunction with the Literature Circles resource, as an extra element to the literature circles in my class. The students were able to use the pages to keep track of their ideas, thoughts and wonderings, allowing them to ponder deeper issues as they arose.
Such a handy resource to keep for when you have students that need that extra challenge.
This resource allowed my students to determine what was important and how to think critically on what they were reading. I found this to be a great resource as an assessment tool for comprehension.
My GT class is doing amazing with this. highly engaging
I am currently using this as a book report for my students. I like that it calls them to think deeper into their book. IF they don't read their book, this is going to be difficult for them to do.
This is such a great extension to some of our Book club work as well.

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.
