Short Story Flash Cards (great for KAGAN inside/outside circles)
A 24 page set of flash cards that can be used for the KAGAN Inside/Outside Circles activity to cover and review the elements of a short story. I recommend printing the pages front and back on cardstock so the ink won't show through and then laminate for lasting quality. (If printed as double-sided the title will be on one side and the question/answer on other) A few cards are restated in different words and multiple copies can be made to accommodate the amount of students/groups you have.
