Novel Study for Any Book: Word & Question Log, Grades 3-5

Two running logs for any chapter book. In the word log, a student copies a new word exactly, notes the chapter and page where they met it, looks it up in a dictionary or glossary (or asks a person) and writes the meaning in their own words. In the question log, they write a question when they have one, then come back to add the answer and its page when the book gives it. Some books never answer a question, and the log says that is fine.
