We're writing about our reading!

We've been jotting down a "blurb" everyday as a part of reader's workshop. Today the class generated a few sentence starters for an easier transition from reading to writing, and to help if they are stuck. Here is the list they came up with...
  • I made a connection to the book when...
  • I do (or do not) recommend this book because...
  • I liked the book because...
  • My favorite part of the book was when___________because...
  • The book I read was interesting because... 
The blurbs are getting stronger as I model stronger reflections from our read alouds.


Building Stamina is up to 18 minutes this week! Happy Monday and let's build up that STAMINA!
