Reading is thinking. Reading is a process. Comprehension and collaboration are the desired outcomes of this blog. Think Spot is high tech and high touch.

Dialogue Journals...
Hey Daring Dialoguers,
Today is Tuesday, March 22, 2011. I hope "dialoguers" is a real word! Oh well. Today will be a great day for you to see more ways we can use our DIALOGUE JOURNALS. The possibilities are endless when it come to our journals. We can use them to guide our blog posts. They can become the place we record our INQUIRY QUESTIONS. We can copy down passages from our books to improve our writing (MENTOR TEXTS). We can even use them to get feedback on our thoughts and opinions. Our reading comprehension strategies will improve the more we use our dialogue journals.
For ALL ROTATIONS...
1. Please watch the video I have made that will help you with your dialogue journals. (Look for the IMG programs at the bottom of the screen.)
2. Take the 25-30 minutes the guest teacher gives you to work, read, or write in your DIALOGUE JOURNALS.
3. Please clean up and be ready to go to your next rotation.
