Pushing your Thinking - Written Response Coding
Pushing Your Thinking- This is a strategy I use to help students come up with a more complete written response. It is very differentiated, which I love! This strategy requires color coding (blue, green, red, and yellow---in THAT order!) I have put the handout below in their HIKERS Guide binders in the "Classroom Information" tab for them to refer to at school and at home!
I am going to challenge the students to use this strategy for their written responses in order to help them better understand and analyze what they are reading about!
Here are the colors and what they mean:
Blue- main or restating the question. The "blue" should only be one sentence and should NOT contain the word "because".
Green- evidence. Students should refer to the handout that is in the reading section of their binders for this color and the red. Students should select one of the sentence starters and fill in the blanks with the text they are using. In this week's case, its Mountain Bike Mania. The evidence is a line from the text that can actually be underlined or highlighted.
Red- analysis. This is where students really push their thinking. They should be making a connection to another text, their own lives, or simply thinking more about the text they are reading at the moment. Digging deeper. Analyzing. Dissecting. Sentence starters for these are also provided on the handout.
Yellow- vocabulary. When students get to this color, they should be re-reading their responses and seeing if they can substitute any words for better vocabulary. They can be wordly wise lesson words, or words we are collecting in class. Today we collected the word "repulsive, ecstatic, and enthusiastic".
Take a look at these student examples from another third grade class at Morrisville:
