Reading activity

Today the students practiced an activity to help them construct, process, and question as they read.  The students used sticky notes to mark spots in the texts and jot responses to help remember discussion questions to get involved in after they read the material.  I gave them simple directions about what they should watch for as they read, and what to write on their sticky notes.  They were able to use different colors of notes to distinguish between various kinds of responses and then they were able to transfer the notes to a separate sheet of paper with their names on it after they were through reading.  I think the activity went well and it helped the students to better be able to return to important spots in their reading.
