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.                                           

4th Grade Teacher, Dina Weiss (Ed.D.), shares the following (Jan., 2023):  the students in my class doing a kind of speed dating community share of their reading responses based on their independent books. They were reading each other's responses for the purpose of getting ideas for their own future response work, as well as giving supportive feedback on how their classmate can show deeper thinking with their work. 

 I only now found this post on Twitter from October 6. 2021, during the height of the pandemic. Thank you to @AmyLink11, who posted it: I love when teachers leave a PD & start implementing great strategies immediately! Kids were “speed dating” discussing whether numbers were odd or even! Best part: it was a strategy from the book The Reader Response Notebook by @tedsclassroom @AnnaTXTeacher @DISDElemMath . Check out this short, delightful video from Amy's class: https://twitter.com/i/status/1445929016754466816
