Some of you may be wondering why I've chosen to concentrate on Question Types when it seems to be such a niche way of going about literacy; some of the most important roles in Literature Responses, however, require students being in the full working knowledge of how to construct, deconstruct, and respond to each of the Question Types (e.g., Discussion Director and Predictor), or require students to be able to think in a sophisticated, logical, or higher-order manner, much as open-ended questions do.
Just for everyone's convenience, I wanted to post PDFs of Literature Responses and to let everyone know that whatever they whittle the roles down into, the ones I would consider to be essential going forward are:
- Discussion Director
- Connector
- Quoter
- Predictor
- Debater
- Reader's Theater
- Take-Away
- Best Case/Worst Case Scenario
Coming up as soon as I get all of the Question Types covered: the
Debater role! Here's where teachers will get a chance to practice Close Reading with their students.
