Look Both Ways Jason Reynolds Pre-Writing Connection Question (each chapter)
This product goes along with my whole Look Both Ways Unit. At the start of each chapter I like to have students answer pre-writing connection questions. These questions focus on the student in relation to the book, and its central topic for that chapter. There about 3-4 personal questions, for each chapter. Total number of questions is 35. Great for journals!

My students have used these questions while independently reading a book on their reading level and I have also used these questions during a book study when I read a chapter book out loud. I model how to use the questions with picture book or two. They catch on quickly and enjoy the questions. I encourage them to use various questions to keep their journals interesting and fun to do. If we do this during book study and I am reading the
