Here to DESTROY THE NARRATIVE that students who color or doodle during class are not paying attention. 
 
Instead, let's channel that feeling and expression into the most brilliant learning opportunity.
 
Because what if our bookmarks were also a notetaking space?
 
Literary Bookmarks: One side represents symbols and icons of the text, or a space for students to draw what stands out to them as they read. On the other side, they take notes about characters, plot, big ideas, vocab, whatever works for your text! Then, the next time you read, students have their notes right in their book to help them rapid-fire review before reading the next section.
 
6 classics to choose from with the option to create your own
Lord of the Flies
Romeo and Juliet
The Odyssey
1984
Of Mice and Men
The Great Gatsby
 
Next Read Bookmarks: Perfect for "First Chapter Friday" and "Lit Circles!" I love it when students share what they are reading. They need a space to remember titles that interest them. These bookmarks are 2 sided. On one side are inspirational quotes and areas for students to draw/color for an SEL component, and the other side leaves space for students to write down ideas for their next read.
