Discussion Books
I originally made these covers and question packets for partner reading folders. My team teacher, Maureen Isenegger, and I had a vision that we would have folders with the cover of the book on the front and the discussion questions inside, perhaps on top of a seperate bookcase that contained two copies of each of these books. We collected pairs of the books and got the covers printed... but the discussion questions are a LOT of work. Luckily for you, I've now done the work and all you have to do is print them off and use them as you wish.
I struggled with the format of these questions. I decided that one size does not fit all. While some books are chapter-by-chapter, some have combined chapters or just general questions. Feel free to play with the format, as I've left them in word for you. You could have one folder for each book, or two (hence the two covers per page). If you would like to contribute any additional activity sheets or ideas for the discussion packets, please do using this form. I'll post updates to the Latest Update page. Keep checking back for book additions-we'll keep adding until we're so completely burned out of books that we bust.
