NOPQ Character Bookmarks
 
Using the bands of text to help think about how character work gets more sophisticated, I created a few bookmarks that readers might use to write more deeply about characters and vary their thinking work. You might also use these to:
 
⭐Foster conversation during conferences
⭐Support partner and book club talk
⭐Guide writing about reading
⭐Make Buzz Book pages (see previous post!)
 
Tip: You'll find a color version and a BW version! The color version will allow you to easily scan your classroom and see who is doing similar thinking work to allow for easy small groupings! Alternatively, you can use the B&W version and print on different color cardstock for the same at-a-glance convenience. You might also laminate them so that kids can use dry-erase markers to check off the strategies they try in each book!
