Fahrenheit 451 Quiz Part Two ("The Sieve and the Sand")
I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of FAHRENHEIT 451, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade). I was not striving for higher order thinking...just a basic, Accelerated-Reader-type quiz that would demonstrate completion of the assigned reading. The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thus,

"The Jungle Book" Novel Study/Literature Circle Questions and Vocabulary
I received a 6-pack of "The Jungle Book" retold from Rudyard Kipling as part of my September 2018 Scholastic order but the book is not the same as other versions out there so the chapters and questions did not align with anything that I found. I decided to make my own version that aligns with the three chapters in the Scholastic version (plus the 4th chapter - Rikki Tikki Tavi).
