  1. Reading Response (RR) Entries Critical Thinking While Reading

  2. Directions: • As you read, put a post-it next to any line, sentence or section that jumps out at you. Write a brief note to yourself on the post-it so you can remember what you were thinking. (If nothing “jumps out” at you by the time you have finished reading, go back and FIND something to respond to.)

  3. Types of RR entries: • 1. Give Opinion: Based on facts you can cite, tell what you think / feel about a certain part, and why. • 2. Ask a Question: This can be a basic question about something you don’t understand in the text, or a larger question (about life, literature or anything) that the text made you consider. • 3. Make a Connection: A certain point in the text reminds you of another story, poem, movie, song, or something in “real life.” How are the two alike?

  4. Types of RR entries: • 4. Significant Passage: You realize a certain part in the text is important. Why do you think it’s important? What does it mean? What does it tell you about the entire book, story or poem? • 5. Language Recognition: You notice some appropriate sensory details, a simile, some onomatopoeia or personification, etc. What is it, and does it add to the piece? How? • 6. Theme Recognition: You find a sentence or two that might be the theme (the “So what?”) of the piece. Explain it in your own words.

  5. Types of RR entries: • 7. Spot the Setting: You notice a part that refers to the place or time of the story or poem. Why is it important? • 8. Character Description: You notice a description of a character (what he/she looks like, thinks, says or does). Why is it important? What does it reveal about that character? • 9. Detect the Conflict: You realize one of the conflicts or problems in the story. Explain. • 10. Make a Prediction: Based on facts you have read, you guess something that might happen next or even eventually. OR was there a possible scenario you had previously predicted, that you now know will NOT happen? Explain why or why not and how you know.
