This is a collection of 91 practical ways to have students respond to literature. These ideas can be applied to multiple forms of reading, whether your focus is using the core curriculum or conducting literature studies. You can copy and cut the ideas into strips, then have students select a strip and complete that activity. This is the perfect solution and alternative to those boring workbook pages. In the long run, you will save on copies and boost your students creativity and comprehension. These ideas can be used in multiple grade levels and modified for differentiation (to fit student's individual learning abilities).
Can't wait to use this for reading journals w/ my students. I have a virtual lab now, and they will be able to respond via the web/e-mail! This will be a great addition to their binders.
