Patricia Rielly Giff, Balanced literacy, reading groups, lit circles, "In the Dinosaur's Paw"
I have been making most of my own comprehension questions for other Giff stories. My students are loving the characters in the montly novels. There are great opportunities in the books to demonstrate making connections with text to self in Giff's stories. I love the questions for each chapter. thanks for doing this novel.
