Novel Study for Any Book: Plot & Setting Map, Grades 3-5

A plot line and setting log that fit a book of any length. After each reading session, a student adds the one event that mattered most to a numbered plot line, with its chapter. When the story moves somewhere new, a row goes in the setting log: the place, what it is like (a detail and its page) and what happens there. The main problem goes in once it is clear.
