Responding to Reading -- Various Approaches

Recently there has been discussion concerning the Speaking & Listening standards and how these are addressed. In reviewing speaking & listening standards I recognized how strongly they go with our reading response work, perhaps in a different way. Here is S&L standard #4 for 4th and 6th grade:
GR 4:"Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience in an organized manner, using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace."
GR 6: "Present claims and findings, sequencing ideas logically and using pertinent descriptions, facts, and details to accentuate main ideas or themes; use appropriate eye contact, adequate volume, and clear pronunciation."

When thinking about response to reading create a post explaining something you have done in your class or may be planning to try that addresses this area. Feel free to consult your particular grade S&L standard for your response.

Please start a new post and label it "S&L Response (your name)"
