We have just started our new reading response journals. These are intended to support student learning while they are reading independently. We will work on 6 different focuses. The first focus is:
Creating Mental Pictures
Each day that students read independently, they complete a page in their reading log. The directions at the top say,
"When we read a book, we often make a mental picture of what happened in the story. Choose a scene to illustrate and write a picture caption at the bottom."
