In regards to the reading response journal entry, I am a second grade teacher and my team uses reading response journals. I think they are wonderful! I have a few resources on the topic that my school uses when creating a reading response journal for the children. We pick and choose items we think are important for our kids, so not every journal from teacher to teacher is the same. In our school, we are use the Jan Richardson model for reading response journals. She lays out in her most recent book (I don't know the name off hand, but I can get back to you with it) how she sets up the journal, how she uses the journal, and also provides hard copies to reproduce if needed. I also came across another good resource over the Internet. It is a third grade teachers website but she goes into depth on her reading block and how she uses, sets up, and teachers her children how to use their reading response journals. Her name is Beth Newingham...if you google her name the site will come up but I will also list the site here... http://hill.troy.k12.mi.us/staff/bnewingham/myweb3/ Hope this helps... ~Brooke _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
