I created this tool based off of an article from the NSTA magazine. The checklist acts as a reading guide as they make their way through non-fiction text that may be more difficult to understand. This is excellent for prepping students for a classroom discussion on an article, or for use in a flipped-classroom setting (how I use it). Rather than taking notes on a chapter, I assign this reading guide the night prior to my lesson on the topic. It is then easy to do a pair-share to refresh from the night before and to clear up confusion or bring attention to questions before the lesson.
