Cheater, cheater. Learners create cheat sheets about their independent reading books to help others determine if the text interests them. After creating drafts of their sheets, scholars pair up for a peer review and then complete a final copy using markers, crayons, or colored pencils. When all cheat sheets are complete, the class carries out a gallery walk to look at the work.
