Day 16 A Good Response: Reading Workshop – First 20 Days, Grade 4
Channel: Hannah Oberlander
Date: 2020-11-27

In this mini lesson, we will be answering the essential question: How do I know if my response is good?

Written responses are a great way for you and your teacher to have a “conversation” about your books.  As you write your thinking each week, your teacher will be responding back to you. Students learn how to use a rubric to evaluate their responses.  Students work with their teacher’s guidance to evaluate a sample response letter.  Students are prompted to work with a partner to evaluate a second sample response letter to gain practice.
