Labeling our Thinking!

Here are some examples of how we labeled our thinking after reading nonfiction texts.  Taking time to think about what we've read is a vital comprehension skill to help us make connections to new learning!







We labeled new learning with an "L", "W" stands for "Wow!  That's interesting!", and a "?" means we still have more questions about what we've just read.  We also talked about places to find more information about a topic that interests them.  (The library, a book, an expert, the internet with a parent, etc...)  The students have become experts about sharing their thinking with others!
