Responding to literature can be fun and creative. There are many methods for students to use when responding to a piece of literature. This activity will focus on thank you note writing. This will allow students to write from first person point of view. This shows educators what students understand about a text as students reveal their thinking, feelings, and reactions to the literature they have read.

This activity will allow students to develop an understanding of dialogue. Dialogue is what is being spoken by characters in a text. Understanding who is speaking allows students to better understand the plot and/or events taking place in a story. A character’s dialogue is also important because it often sets or reflects the mood in the story. This activity will also strengthen background knowledge for word choice in identifying signals for dialogue. (said, shouted, yelled, spoke, etc.)

This activity will allow students to identify information in a story that is important for understanding the text. This can include story elements such as character, setting, plot, conflict, and theme from a book as well as beginning, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Adverbs are words that describe verbs.

Forming these metal pictures assists students in understanding what they are reading.

This activity will allow students to develop a better understanding of fact and opinion. When reading text, it is important to distinguish between facts and opinions.

Every good story is written around what is called Story Elements. These elements are interlocked and guide the story from the beginning to the end. Students will identify the 5 story elements; character, setting, plot, conflict, and theme from the chapter book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Identifying story elements are useful in assisting readers in building an understanding of the text.

This is an excellent resource I would highly recommend to anybody teaching students aged 9 - 90. Essentially, the lesson is a trick in which you hand out the activity sheet and ask them to follow the directions carefully, as we are focussing on following procedures today. In nearly 99 percent of all cases your students will follow each of the steps and do all of the ridiculous things that are requested of them. Because generally no one follows instructions carefully. Why? Because they never follow the first step - which was to read ALL of the instructions before doing anything. If they do read all instructions as requested they will find out they have absolutely nothing to do. It is a great discussion prompt for your students about how poor we are in general at following and reading instructions and then exploring the importance of following procedures. Anyhow you can download the Activity sheet here and spend a good 10 minutes feeling very smug and clever yourself as you see your students fail miserably at this incredibly simple task. *************************************************************************** Other Popular Products From Innovative Teaching Ideas - Search for these items on TES Year Long Visual Writing Prompts Fable Power Pack Teaching Digital Technologies and STEM ***************************************************************************** YOUR REVIEWS ARE ESSENTIAL IN KEEPING OUR PRODUCTS LOW PRICED AND REGULARLY UPDATED!!!
