Hello,
I agree with both Bill and Keith. If you are going to teach someone how to
ride a bike, you don't show them a picture of the bike and have them read

I would like a copy, please.
Thanks.

Rather than making response so formal with notebooks, why not try using post
it notes. Have your students read and then post their thoughts, concerns,
puzzles, angers, etc. When the group comes together for a discussion, the
kids take out their post it notes and generate conversations that way.
Hi Jan,
Here's my recommended reading list for middle school:
In the Middle by Nancie Atwell
Deeper Reading by Kelly Gallagher
Teaching Adolescent Writers by Kelly Gallagher
Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males by Alfred Tatem
Making the Match by Teri Lesesne

I love Sandra Cisneros' short story called Eleven, from her book, Woman
Hollering Creek.
