Linking up with my BBB Jivey for
Workshop Wednesday! How do your students respond to reading? I’ve been using a Reader’s
Notebook for years where my students and I write letters about what they’re
reading, but I wanted to create something different for additional responses to
reading so I present to you…my Reading Response Menu!
My students love it because it’s
packaged in a cute mini file folder and it gives them choice. They respond to
all three categories (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) on their response sheets. They love having
choice, but all of the choices require them to dig deep and use their critical thinking
skills.
I love these student samples!
Such heart and passion!
Do you see that critical thinking
in action??!! I’m so happy with this creation and glad I could share it with
you today! I’ve been using my Reading Response Menus for some time now, but I
had to get on the stick to have it packaged for Jivey’s workshop today! Thanks Jivey!!!
This would make a great summer project to get these ready for next year! :O)
Go check out Jivey’s fabulous post-it
idea and all the other wonderful bloggers that linked up! You won’t be
disappointed!
I love that idea! It looks so cute in the mini file folder, nice and colorful! A great way to get the kids to think more deeply about their reading/thinking. Definitely going on the wishlist!

Those are some great responses. I love the mini-folders and the idea that they would be creating a complete meal. I have not given my students this much free choice before - but maybe with these cute folders I will give it a try next year. Off to shop!!
ReplyDeleteYay!! These look amazing! Choice is huge! Just added to my wishlist. Thanks, Joanne!

I love your reading response menus. Giving students choice gets them excited and they feel invested in their learning.

I really like that students have to pick one response from each menu area. I can see using these menus in my future... :)
