Reading Bundle: Sketch Quotes, Game of Quotes, and Three Facts

If you have my emergency sub plans product, the limited versions of these three activities may have piqued your interest. Get the full version of all three lessons at a discounted price in this bundle.

Sketch Quotes:

Witness the magic unfold as students revisit the text, eagerly seeking sketchable lines. Their ability to discern significant moments and connections, reflected in their chosen quotes, never fails to impress. But the true beauty of Sketch Quotes lies in the sharing. Students can participate in gallery walks or comment on sketches shared digitally. The key is to foster discussion and exploration of pivotal moments in the text. Comparing their chosen quotes with those of their classmates during a "gallery walk" sparks fresh insights and enriches their understanding.

In summary, Sketch Quotes outshines traditional reading logs, and a collection of Sketch Quotes transcends a typical book report. Imagine the intrigue sparked when you share a paper filled with titles, minutes, and pages read versus sharing a captivating Sketch Quote!

Game of Quotes:

Step into a world of adventure and imagination with this incredibly engaging reading game. Say goodbye to constant bookshelf browsing during silent reading time, as this game motivates students to immerse themselves in the text instead. But that's not all! The benefits of this game extend beyond reading engagement. Prepare to witness the magic of peer influence as students share their favorite quotes from the books, creating an environment that sparks interest in new and exciting reads. Prepare for a chorus of "I want to read that!" echoing throughout your classroom.

What's included? Everything you need to ignite a passion for reading! You'll receive easy-to-follow directions in card and digital format, making it suitable for various classroom setups. The set features 55 captivating playing cards with prompts that will engage readers in finding text from their books to create hilarious scenarios. Simply print, cut out, and laminate them for long-lasting use. Additionally, I’ve included paper reading log variations, perfect for encouraging reading at home before diving into the game in class.

3 Facts:

This resource is a great classroom routine for promoting thinking and discussing non-fiction texts. As an added bonus, it's a great no-prep addition to your emergency sub plans.

Use it with:

• Online or printed articles and news stories.
• Infographics
• Daily current event news broadcasts.
• Make the reading of a chapter in a textbook more interactive and engaging. Try it with your Science or Social Studies textbook.

3 Ways to Use 3 Facts:

• As a bulletin board (detailed teaching instructions and bulletin board headings included)
• As a daily warm-up activity or exit slip
• As a one-page assignment that includes a written explanation (scoring rubric and teaching instructions included)
• As a digital daily warm-up assigned in Google Classroom (link to student Google slides template and scoring rubric included)
• As a whole-class digital warm-up or "exit slip" with Google Jamboard

Use this routine with any text in any subject area all year long.

3 Facts is also great for use with research projects. For example, if you are doing research reports on Ancient Egyptians and students conduct internet or text-based research on the topic, using the 3 Facts bulletin board or digital Jamboard is a great way for students to share the information they found!
