Workshop 8. Reacting to Students' Work

In an envisionment-building classroom, students feel safe in offering personal impressions and ideas about a text.

Classroom Connection

Student Activities

Try these activities with your students.

Experiment with some of the Suggested On-Going Assessment Tools (PDF) listed in the workshop resources for this video.
Consider asking students to assess themselves using tools such as BJ Namba's Book Club Discussion Self-Assessment (PDF) or her Discussion Group Self-Assessment (PDF).
Develop a rubric for helping students assess their work. You may wish to use BJ Namba's Journal Response Rubric (PDF) as a guide.
At the end of a lesson, a day, or a week, ask students to write you a note telling you what you did during that time period that was particularly helpful to them as learners.
