I love the higher order thinking questions!! This resource is amazing! I hope in the future you could incorporate what common core standards this covers to help teachers out more. Love your products!! :)
AWESOME! I can't wait to use with this book. I will be buying all my units from you!
This is a fantastic resource! I love that is incorporates that depth and complexity AND the content imperative icons! I can tell that a lot of time and thought went into this product and I love that it is specific to this novel. I am new to GATE this year, but have been using the depth and complexity icons for a while. This is a great way for me (and my students) to get our feet wet with content imperatives. Thank you SO much!
fun
love this product. Wish the answers were included for when I have a sub.
