Maps & Globes

Here are the book bags for my Maps & Globes unit. There are 8 book bags each containing a list of guided reading questions (pre reading, during reading, and post reading) and a culminating activity. The books range in level from about a level D to a level M . I use these book bags as partner work but you could use them in small groups, or pick one to use for a whole group lesson.
