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!
