Read Across KY

We have been diuscussing Read Across KY in our classroom over the last 2 weeks.  Students have reviewed the different genre types, so that they can pick books with a purpose this year.  As a class, we read the book "Do Onto Otters" and then worked together to right a reflection using CEIEIO.  Students were supposed to bring these examples home to use as a model for writing their reflections for now.  Below is an example that a student has turned in.  If you click on it it is much eaasier to read.
 
Students remember to choose a correct prompt to answer about your book and use the sentence stems in your writing.
Read Across Kentucky Reflection - C – E – I – E – I – O
C * Change your prompt into a topic sentence. (Pick a prompt from the front page.)
E * Use evidence from the text. (In the story it said …)
I* Interpret the above evidence. (Clearly, this shows…)
E * Use evidence from the text. (Another part of the story said …)
I* Interpret the above evidence. (To me this means…)
O * State your “Oh” or “Aha” moment. (From reading and thinking about this story, I now know…)
