⭐️Suggested Use:

There are multiple ways to use this produce. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Keep a set of the cards in the area where you provide whole group AND small group instruction. That way you can easily ensure you're guiding students' thinking about the standard towards the way it's reflected on F.A.S.T.

2. Use the question stems when creating formative and summative assessments. Many questions lend themselves to multiple choice, fill in the blank, or short response.

3. Make a copy for student journals or in centers. Students can use the cards to ask each other questions after reading a text. This will challenge your high students, to determine which questions are most applicable to the text they read.
