Notice and Note Passages from Number the Stars
About This Product
Do you teach Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry? Do you also guide your students through Beers and Probst's Notice and Note signposts? The ten passages from the text have been chosen to provide students – whether in groups or individually – with the opportunity to identify and reflect on the signposts shared by Beers and Probst. The approach encourages students to collaboratively discuss their findings and back their interpretations with evidence from the text. Example answers are provided, to guide students and teachers in deeper responses. With open discussion, students may determine that other signposts are visible and allows them to debate and justify their answers. Whether it's for assessment, writing exercises, or a Socratic Seminar, this activity adapts effortlessly.
A bonus for educators: there are clear teaching instructions detailing its implementation in a classroom setting.
