April 8, 2013
Learning with Lindsey (TpT Seller)
Hi, Makenzie!
Great question. The resources are really flexible for the entire book. For instance, I might assign a character trait graphic organizer to a guided reading group for chapter 3. I do not, however, have this posted on the product yet. It is really for you to decide. The comprehension questions are big-picture, big-idea. They really go best towards the end of the study.
Hope this helps! Have fun with this AWESOME book!

Hi Lindsey, Your Chris Van Allsburg Author Study is awesome! I can't wait to start this unit with my students! I was wondering about the spelling of "Jumanji." It is spelled with a "j" in the book, but a "g," in your resources ("Jumangi"). I'm not sure if the kids will be confused by this change.

Does your packet have instructions and or a pacing guide that goes along with the graphic organizers?
Are there any comprehension questions or assessments?

March 21, 2013
Learning with Lindsey (TpT Seller)
Great question! This packet does not include a pacing guide, but that would be a great idea. I use these resources in a very flexible way. Usually, each of these graphic organizers would be a different mini-lesson for each day. Or, you could assign a small group 1-2 graphic organizers for a sitting, depending on their level.
There are a few comprehension questions, but are not organized by chapter. This is because the questions are broader-scope and more big picture. There are no assessments.
Hope this helps!!

Tcampbell71 re: The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo: Characters, Plot, Setting
Hello Lindsey,
I was thinking about buying this packet for Tiger Rising. However, I was wondering if the packet is set up chapter to chapter or if it is just completed after the students finish the entire book. I really want to use this as a whole class during our read aloud and merge some mini lessons into our read aloud when I can. Thanks so much, Tamara

Hi, Tamara!
The Tiger Rising is an awesome Read Aloud book! Great choice! I do not have the questions organized by chapter since they are deeper level, big picture questions. The graphic organizers are great to use chapter by chapter or after the entire book. I've left this product flexible for differentiation, which has completely helped me in my classroom. Thank you for your question!

Hi! I just downloaded "Stuart Little" and it looks to be a FABULOUS resource! Thank you! I have a question though... on pg 28 it says "Lesson/Theme of Holes", but this is Stuart Little... Can you change it? I understand this template is probably used for lots of other novels. I appreciate it if you can. If so, how will I re-download it? (You're my 1st download from TPT). Thanks.

How long should I plan on this unit lasting? Are there chapter comprehension questions as well?
January 17, 2013
Learning with Lindsey (TpT Seller)
Hi, there!
These are supplemental graphic organizers with some whole-book questions that focus on the bigger picture. For this reason, there is no suggested time or lessons. You will find that the graphic organizers can be used one a day, or a few a day. It really depends on the grade level and students' ability levels.
I hope this helps! Have a great one!

nealkel re: Loser by Jerry Spinelli: Thinking Strategies for Characters, Plot, and Setting
Hi! Are the worksheets you've created designed to be used in a generic fashion, at any point in the book (the way a literature circle job would be completed), or are they more chapter specific with questions/comparisons that relate to specific events in the story?
January 3, 2013
Learning with Lindsey (TpT Seller)
Great question! These are generic graphic organizers that can be used at any point in the book. There are no specific chapters or page numbers indicated, so this allows for more flexibility. I love using these graphic organizers with book clubs/literature circles.

We use Reading Workshop and it follows the thinking strategies that we work on.

I have an observation lesson on matching word problems with expressions and am trying to come up with a fun approach. Is that what your package focuses on?
November 13, 2012
Learning with Lindsey (TpT Seller)
Great question! There are two types of activities-- first, students solve a basic word problem. Second, the students write their own word problem based on an expression. So, it's not exactly matching word problems with expressions, but using some of those same ideas. I hope this helps and good luck on your observation lesson!
