document observation
The document I choose was called Making Connections. The directions were to using a sentence starter, which was previously taught, and make a "text to self" or "text to text" connection with each chapter from the book the were reading called 26 Fairmount Avenue.
My observations of this is that it provoked a lot of thought from the students. They had to find situations that they had already processed and understood and make a connection to something in their lives or another book they have read. I like this document. It gives students the chance to take the book further and elaborate further than what they just learned.
