Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response

Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response
ELA, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Literature, Strategies, Writing, Grade 6, 7, 8, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans

This 31-page mini-unit, Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response, is part 5 in my unit Creating Independent Readers in Your Middle School Classroom . In this mini-unit, students learn the following: --how to identify the reading strategies they are using --how to “Talk to the Text” or annotate the text with their thoughts, feelings, ideas, etc. --how to write a thoughtful and cohesive response to what they are reading Response writing allows students to access their subconscious or deeper thinking. Although you will have some students who take to this immediately and come up with amazing observations and thoughtful analyses, most students start out being very self-conscious about their thinking, even students who are reading at or beyond grade level. They are not used to bringing their thoughts to the surface. It is a skill that we have to teach them. Once they learn it, though, you will be surprised at and delighted by their insightful comments. Talking to the Text or annotating a text is an important skill that students need to be taught. Often they are insecure about or inhibited by the idea of marking up the text with their thoughts, feelings, ideas, reactions, etc. Some students come to it naturally, whereas others really struggle with this. I have found over the years that the insecurity or inhibition, as well as the confidence to access their subconscious thoughts, can be in both advanced and struggling readers. Their reading skill or level ultimately isn’t a guarantee that they will do this confidently. This is why it is good to break down the skill by using reading strategies and giving them time to practice. The mini-unit includes detailed lesson plans with clearly stated objectives and learning targets that are aligned with the Common Core Standards for Reading along with the necessary resources you need to engage your students in reading response. Typically, I teach this after I've taught my students how to write a summary of a short story, which I offer in Lesson 4 of my unit. My 95-page complete unit, Creating Independent Readers in Your Middle School Classroom , includes the following: Part 1: What We Do When We Read Part 2: Reading Requirements Part 3: Reading Logs, Setting Goals, and Reflection Part 4: Summary Writing for Short Stories Part 5: Metacognitive Logs: Reading Response Part 6: How to Set Up An Amazing Classroom Library
