Chronological Order Sorts!

I'm pleased to announce some new chronological order sorts are available on TpT!  (I now have 120 posted products, all of which have been classroom tested with my own group of fifth graders.)

Since I just finished some new novels with my small groups, I decided to make them chronological order sorts as a quick check for their comprehension.  By placing the events from the novels back into chronological order, they are examining how these events and chapters build upon one another.  (CCSS RL 5.5).  

I have created new sorts for the following novels:

Rick Riordan's The Lost Hero
Rick Riordan's The Red Pyramid
Gennifer Choldenko's Al Capone Does My Shirts
Lemony Snicket's Who Could That Be At This Hour?
Pam Pollack and Meg Beviso's Who Was Steve Jobs?
Suzanne Collin's Mockingjay
Tom Angleberger's The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

These products are available here and great for small groups!

Novel Guide: Who Was Steve Jobs?

As the advisor for Battle of the Books for my school, I was assigned to read one of the 8 novels and come up with fifty questions for the novel.

I chose Who Was Steve Jobs partially because I wanted to know more about the genius behind my beloved iProducts, but also because these biographies are wonderfully written!  I love that they're developmentally appropriate for my students (DRA 40).

So I added in higher level comprehension questions and created an eleven page teacher guide, which you can snag here from TpT!  Like my other products, it includes comprehension questions and answers for each chapter, suggested vocabulary words (although there aren't a lot due to the DRA level) and extension ideas.

Happy reading!
