Reading Responses

Reading responses are trickling into the classroom.  By this time, there should be a steady flow.  Your child should be working on any of the following:

-Fiction reading response
-Non-fiction reading response
-Biography/Autobiography reading response

Remember, specific due dates are not given as students are reading books of different length and genre.  It is your child's responsibility to pick up the appropriate form to complete his/her reading response as ready OR all forms are available on this blog for printing or downloading purposes.  Please see directions for how to type directly onto a form below.

Typing Reading Responses

Do you want to type your reading responses?  If so, that's easy...just follow these steps:

• http://washingtonoak.weebly.com
• Teacher Websites...Mrs. Potvin (which will bring you to this site)
• On the right side under the ELA tab, you will find blank templates for:   

           -Fiction Literature Response

           -Non-Fiction Literature Response

           - Biography/Autobiography

• Click on the type of response you will be working on.  It should pop up, but there will be a blue box that reads "view only."  It is set in "view only" because if you typed on that one, it would change the template for everyone.
• To fix this issue, go to file and click "make a copy."  This will allow you to type on the new one.
• I suggest erasing the lines before you begin to type; otherwise, they will just keep scrolling down the page making your paper several pages longer and messier than needed!

   *** Another suggestion is to share your document with me right away.  Sometimes I view what you have started on my own, but if I have not commented on your paper it means I didn't see it yet.  Please let me know when you are finished and ready for feedback.  I will give you feedback before you hand it in for final grading.***
