I will soon be starting a mythology unit for my 6th graders. Students have a lot of choice in what myths they choose to read as they move through the unit. Each student will read at least 7 myths and one of our over riding questions will be what makes something a myth. I need to somehow keep track of what they are reading and how they are thinking. The students have had lots of work with the reading strategies. I do not want to do summaries after the readings. I've considered a daily journal where they tell me what they accomplished that period or maybe a metacognition journal where they track what they are thinking as they read. Any other ideas that would make this unit both enjoyable as well as entrenched in the strategies.?
Thanks.
