Do your students love writing on sticky notes? Each student will write their individual answers on a sticky note first. They will then work together in a small group to “stick” their answers together and collaboratively build the best possible answer they can, using their individual responses, and the success criteria for reader responses included on each page.

This Stick-It-Together resource contains 4 reader response questions for each of the following topics in each category:

· Comprehension Strategies (Asking Questions, Determining Importance, Inferring, Making Connections, Summarizing, Synthesizing, Visualizing)

· Story Elements (Plot, Setting, Characters, Theme, Conflict)

· Literary Elements (Author’s Purpose, Figurative Language, Point of View, Tone and Mood)

· Genre (Fictional Narrative, Informational Text, Persuasive Writing, Poetry)

· Text Structure (Compare and Contrast, Cause and Effect, Description, Problem and Solution, and Sequence).

Prep is quick and easy... just print and GO!
