Reader Response Notebooks

Two recent posts on Twitter. The first shows "speed dating" by undergraduate students at Queens College, thanks to Prof. Dina Weiss. The second points the way to a blog post I did on the NCTE blog ( https://ncte.org/blog/2019/01/reader-response-notebook ) about The Reader Response Notebook.                                           

 Dinah Weiss, Ed.D., is both an outstanding 4th grade teacher AND an instructor at Queens College, NY. She actively explores the RRN with her college students. Here are some samples:   About the Instagram response, Dr. Dinah Weiss shares: One of the QC students took it upon herself to create a new reading responses. She merged her love of art with the reading response work. She understood the power of reading responses to elevate a students deep thinking of a text.  She made an Instagram page for a character, she visually showed the complexity of problems a character was having, and I she showed the intersection of theme and complexity of character relationships using a color-coded system.
