    QUESTIONS:

    1. What are post it note responses? Post it note responses are a reading strategy to engage

    students to be active readers. Students can use post it notes to write down their thoughts,

    questions, predictions to a text

    2. Why would I teach this strategy? I would teach this strategy because it is a very simple and

    effective way for students to take notes when reading. It helps them become move from a passive

    reader to ab active reader becoming engaged in the text. They can note their questions, facts they

    learned, make predictions, note important parts and more. As a teacher you can monitor student

    comprehension, have them make connections while reading. You can additionally use post it

    notes responses to have students brainstorm collaboratively and share ideas through a gallery

    walk, respond to an exit ticket, respond to a class survey, or answer a question. I always love

    have students share an answer or opinion about a question or text on the white board without

    them being on the spot. It is very convenient to use this strategy because the only tools your

    students need are post it note, a pencil and their mind.

    3. How would I teach this strategy? (Step by step directions)

    I would teach this strategy by beginning my lesson with a question regarding a text we will be

    reading in class. At a predetermined point in the text I would ask the class to make a prediction

    about what they think will happen next. I will then have students use their post it notes on their

    own flagging parts they did not understand, or particularly likes. They can also ask questions or
    write down an unfamiliar word that they want to define. Students can use different colored post

    its or symbols to organize their post it notes and show their thinking “LOL” for funny parts, * for

    an important part, ! for a surprising part, ❤ for a favorite part, ? for a confusing part and " for

    a prediction.
