Test their comprehension as well as their ability to identify important details and ask appropriate questions with this activity.

Read the story of Hermes and also Athena's origin story and have students work on sequencing with a step-by-step activity for Hermes' tale and explore their creativity by building a resume for Athena! These pair perfectly with The Lightning Thief or can stand alone as a fun way to learn about the Greek Gods.

These daily discussion questions can be used in a variety of ways with students who are reading The Hunger Games. I used them digitally. Students all had access to the document. Their name would be placed on each question and they'd be responsible for answering each one. This allowed students to work ahead and also see what their peers were saying to help them with their understanding. It's a great way to get those quiet students talking. They also work well as verbal discussion questions or a m

These questions for chapters 4-7, 9-10, 12-13, and 16-18 are open-ended questions and work perfectly for fishbowl or socratic seminar activities based on Bud, Not Buddy. Give students a chance to do the talking and demonstrate what they know!
