TIMELINE
The child created a
time line to organize the major ideas or events of the story or to connect the
story with other events in history.
STORY MAPS
The child created a visual map to tell the story of a book as either a
large mural in which one picture contains the major story elements of
character, theme, setting, and plot or as a path that follows major story
events.
MAKING A CONNECTION
The child jotted down stories or
experiences that came to his/her mind as he/she read.
ANOMALIES
The child wrote down questions or things
that surprised him/her. Once he/she finished reading, looked back over his/her
questions to identify the ones that he/she was still wondering about and generated
new anomalies.
FREE WRITES
After reading a book, the child set a timer for
anywhere from 5-15 minutes. During that time, he/she wrote continuously about
their thoughts related to the book. It was a free flow of thoughts about the
book.

GENRE TABLES
Students in groups created GENRE
TABLES which had the books that they had got from home, class library and other
classes. They visited each table, browsed through and left their comments and
opinions on each table writing about that genre.
