Description
This detective activity is great for exploring the practice of close reading with your students.
Students construct a “case file” with information from a fiction book of your choice.
Pick and choose from twelve different tasks that give students a purpose rereading and digging deeper into the text.
Attach the sheets to a file folder to make a lap book, bind the pages together as a mini-book, or glue into an interactive notebook.
A Thinking Tracks bookmark is included for students to use as they interact with the text.
Discussion questions are included for students to use in small groups.
