FREEBIE: Step In! Step Out! {A Reading Lesson for DEEP Thinking}

I love getting students thinking deeply about a book! I use my "Step In - Step Out" reading lesson to have students do just that. Students "step in" to the story to analyze character choices, and they "step out" of the story to analyze author choices.

Included in this free lesson is a detailed explanation of the strategy and how I use it with my students, printables to make anchor charts or mini stand-up charts (for a guided reading lesson), and three differentiated versions of an accompanying reading response sheet.
