Monday Made It: Literature Circle Group Pails

Linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for another Monday Made It.

This next year I want to use Literature Groups in my classroom.  We are switching up our ELA to incorporate more novels.  To keep everything organized I decided to grab these small pails from Target's Dollar Spot and add some alphabet stickers to the front of them.  The plan is to keep them filled with everything they need for group discussions, and since I'm keeping the groups small (only 4 per group), I needed 8.

 I know how much I have loved using Bloom's prompt cards as a teacher to get the discussion rolling, so I wanted to print out the cards extra small (8 per page) that my students could keep in their pails.  

Ink has become a huge factor, so I decided to print in BW, and add those same alphabet/number stickers to the cards.  The letters stand for the type of Bloom prompt it is.

K= Knowledge/Remembering

C = Comprehension/Understanding

Red A= Application

Yellow A = Analysis

S = Synthesis

E = Evaluation

Here are the cards that I'm using:
