Specific Reading Strategies in Observation

One specific reading strategy I observed my teacher doing this week was the Reader Response strategy, which I had chosen as one of my strategies for my midterm already. The format for my teacher's reader response included a summary, a connection to a movie, other book, or real life, two new vocabulary words they learned, and some example of personification, onomonopaeia, etc. It looked to me like the students enjoyed the responses. Making a connection and looking deeper into the story than they usually would really seemed to help them enjoy the novel more. I'm so excited to try this in my own classroom!
