It will definitely not be fun to arrange and print 60 copies for each one of my students, but I think they turned out so well that I will! Once they use the pre-printed sticky notes, hopefully that will get them in the habit of using them for making connections and they will create their own from now on. Of course, they don't have to write on the sticky notes and just use them to mark the page where they made the specific connection. (I'm thinking out loud right now....)
I also created a Making Connections thinking stems notes page for students to keep in their literacy binders. I hope these stems will improve their journal writing.

These are fantastic! I have my students make connections using sticky notes with codes on them (TS, TW, TT).
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found you blog! It seems like the way you teach reading and writing is the way I am trying to transition to. You've got a new follower in me!
