Reading Response Journal Gallery
I love reading what kids have to share about their reading! Every week, students have to turn in their journals. Five students each day, so I don't end up with 29 all at once to get back to them! Recently, I went to an amazing conference with Mary Ehrenworth...so great! She inspired me to add creativity to our Reading Response Journals. I showed my students some examples. They searched for ideas and we brainstormed them. Here is the awesome-ness that was found-

Character Descriptions...Look closely...he made new words from each of the two descriptive words.
Pictures and descriptions of bad guys or memorable characters
Coded post it notes
A story map
She made a symbol for combining the parts of the book.
This guy drew a picture and then bottom sketches are symbols he made up that would represent each of the characters.
Comparing two books in a series
Comparing two books with similar ideas.
Then we had a gallery showing and shared our work with our friends.
So fun and it put more life and energy into writing about reading!

That's very impressive! I bet your kids really enjoyed that. I love having sharing galleries. I need to do that more often.

I love this, it seems so much more meaningful then just writing a paragraph in your journal. I would love some more details on how you taught them these different types of responses… :)
ReplyDeleteI did one of my own as an example. Then I went online and found other examples of what they could do. Most came up with their own plans....so creative.
