This week we have been reviewing what makes an effective reading response. We partnered up for the first story Snap! to put our thoughts and opinions into writing, then self assessed our work, and got feedback from others.

Working with the same partner, we again put our thoughts into writing for the humorous story Dog vs. Cat, with the goal of improving our responses with more specific examples to explain our thinking. We also noticed that by using virtue words, we are able to bump up our responses with deeper thinking.

Today’s challenge was to write a create our own responses to the story The Artist and Me.
