We have been learning about the importance of written response to text. Written response is viewed as the highest level of comprehension because you are able to communicate in writing your learning and viewpoints.
Your blog this week is to answer one of the following questions using RACE (R: Restate the question, A: Answer all parts, C: Cite evidence, E: Explain your thinking).
Steps:
1.) Choose one question you'd like to answer.
2.) Use RACE to respond ((R: Restate the question, A: Answer all parts, C: Cite evidence, E: Explain your thinking)
3.) Include the title and the author
Questions:
1.) What is your favorite part of your book? Why?
2.) What character are you most alike? Why?
3.) What is the main idea of your book?
Example:
My favorite part of the book, The Willoughbys, by Lois Lowry is (RESTATE) when the characters in the story dress up to scare away potential buyers of their house (ANSWER). It's my favorite part because I like the creativity the characters use. For example, "Tim dressed as a coat hanger, Jane became the rug, and Nanny dressed herself as a statue," (p.20) (CITE). This quote shows the clever way the Willoughbys tried to scare people trying to buy their home (EXPLAIN).
