I found this on www.pinterest.com. I realized that, as a student myself, I always had to write and take notes about what I was reading in order to understand it. My students are the same way. In my mini lesson over post-it notes, I handed out this on cardstock paper and had them glue in into their Reading Response Journals. We had a HUGE discussion over what they thought this meant. "Going back and re-reading makes you understand better." "Going back and taking notes helps you to comprehend it more." "Your pencil is like digging a hole, except in your brain." WOW...they totally got it! They loved this so much that they asked if I could turn these into bookmarks. You BET! is all I could say. I got them bookmarks that day. And we continue to dig...
Such a neat idea!!
