What were your organizers like that you used while you read? Are they in the files section? I struggle with giving the students grades over their comprehension of their novels. Right now, I have them complete a reflection journal as the read. They predict before reading, write wonderings during reading, and write a one sentence summary and a reflection statement after reading. They do this each day. I'm just not sure how to grade their journals. > > Regarding the toolkit...I just jumped in with both feet and let it guide > me. > I was so impressed with how deep and rich the student conversatons were > (with one another) and as a class.
