post-it notes
Post-It Notes can be used as a "writing to learn" reading strategy which encourages students to write in response to what they are reading. Students jot down their thoughts and feelings about a text as they read, helping to construct meaning and make connections. Encourage students to make different connections: text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world.
Steps:
1. Use think-alouds and other text demonstrations to model how readers create connections.
2. As students read an assigned text, they jot down words or phrases that occur to them.
3. As they write, students will code their connections (T-S, T-T, T-W)
4. These connections can serve as the basis for rich post reading discussions or evolve into longer written pieces.
Possible Curricular Outcomes:GLO 2: Students will listen, speak, read, write, view and represent to comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral, literary, and media texts.
