1. Today we examined our peers think aloud’s. We made sure that everything was included like name, date, title, neatness; ruler was used for lines, pronouns, page numbers and 3 to 5 sentences. My partner was Wendy and hers was done very well. We had to do 5 or more think alouds that had to resemble Text-Text or Text-Self or Text-World.
Why? (Learning Intentions)
To see how other people think when reading a novel, or there assumption of other things such as quotes or dialogue. Correcting your peer’s helps you better understand mistakes that were made, so next time you won't make them.

Paige - Learning blog is very thorough. I like how you shared your conversation with Wendy in a positive way. From what I observed today most students have improved on their "Think Aloud Responses" from the beginning of the year. Why did we do the peer review? Partly to highlight that some of the formatting (e.g.. name, date, ruler,...) expectations should be completed all the time by now and also so that each person can share responses with another person without fear of being overly critiqued. Before we do our next current events blog posts I want to make sure that everyone is paying attention to criteria and expectations. I am sure some people found it very helpful that you posted the questions for chapter one above. Usually there is at least one person who forgets or loses their questions. Good work today!
