Critical Thinking in Independent Reading/ Reader Response Journals
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

My goal was to have grade 5-8 students incorporate critical thinking in their reader response journals, where they respond to text read independently during Guided Reading stations. I feel reader response journals encourage students to apply strategies taught in class when reading independently to improve their understanding of a variety of text. Our SLIP goal for the past two years focused on reading strategies, so I was also trying to build on the work we were doing for the West Colony PLT.

It provides a graphic organizer in which students consider their intellectual and emotional responses to a reading selection or topic. They then use their point-form jot notes and expand them into a connected personal response to a literary selection.
