Ducks at Night is merely an example of a reader response concentrating on mental images that would work for any story. Basically a t-chart. Kids draw a picture of their mental image on one side oh the t-chart. Then find a partner. Compare pictures and talk about why they added what they drew. Then going back to their own charts (second side of the t-chart) and add new ideas or delete incorrect old thinking that they talked about with their partner. Best part is that all kids see how much better their mental image is in terms of accuracy and detail after the conversation.
