~ The Case of the Great Sled Race is a wonderful book for guided reading groups. The 10 page packet can easily be differentiated. ~Questions are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy and use higher level thinking skills. Many questions also elicit story recall responses. ~Included in the unit: -vocabulary for the book -comprehension questions for each chapter -simile and metaphor activity -extension project – The Great Sled Race game ~ When I use this unit with one of my guided reading groups, the unit can last from a week to two weeks depending on how often the group meets. My guided reading groups also set their own expectations/assignments for completing their books. Sometimes students work with partner to complete assigned chapters. ~The extension project is a wonderful culminating project for the book. Students use the game board and guidelines to create their own original Sled Race game. ~ The Case of the Great Sled Race is an AR level 2.9 book.
