Responding to Literature

We are having so much fun delving into Jack this year. My students have learned some fantastic vocabulary and phrases - Snakes and Toads! - and have really become adept at sketching and writing about literature.

Jack is definitely not a typical 2nd grade book but I am chunking it and scaffolding so that it is meaningful to each student.

10 minutes to read.
10 minutes to sketch.
10 minutes to write.

Take a peek at some of their latest sketches and responses...

Some of these students are still six years old! 

High expectations for all, y'all!
