Combine chapter summary pages and the reading journal project to use with any novel.

Included:

Reading Journal Projects $5

Students will fill these pages in response to any novel they are reading, whether independently or as part of a whole class reading assignment. Each Project includes a student page with instructions and directions to complete each journal page, as well as a grading rubric to use these journal pages as a whole novel project. You could also use these pages individually and pick ones to use for a specific concept to teach or reflect on. Level one is geared toward middle school-aged students or those who require additional support or guidance with a reflective journal piece. Level two is intended for high school students and requires more in-depth analysis and writing skills. Both levels are included in this product, allowing you to choose the level that is most suitable for your students or to mix and match as needed (note that the grading rubric will not apply if you combine pages from one level with those from another).

Pair this with my Chapter Summary Pages for a more in-depth novel study.

Chapter Summary Pages $2

Utilize any of these three summary pages as a way for students to record summaries of a chapter in any novel they read.

Instruct students to complete the pages as needed.

These are the directions I typically give for filling out summaries:

Print off as many pages as your student will need to complete chapter summaries for each chapter in their book or each assigned section of their reading in order to summarize their book accurately.

I have also provided a cover page, allowing students to collect all their pages together and submit a completed project. A basic rubric is included as well.
