I often give my students sticky notes that I cut into small strips in two colors. I ask them to note two places that made them think "Wow!" and two places that made them say "what??" They are to be able to discuss why they put their stickies where they did when they return. If they don't have a "what?" (and they won't until they feel safe enough to admit something was confusing to them) then thay are required to have noted two other places that made them think 'Wow!" --- On Tue, 8/28/12, Livingston, Marie <mlivings...@ttsd.k12.or.us> wrote:

We have asked students to read 20 minutes a night and write a brief summary. What we've noticed is that some students continually "read" the same book or their summaries are boring. A while back there was a similar question posted and someone spoke of goal setting they did with their students around pages read. I want them to want to read and not just go through the motions. We would love any suggestions! thanks!
