Lori, I think your reply was a good one.... creating a rubric together with the kids makes the most sense....I always appreciate your posts and the idea to create a rubric and have kids rate the teacher can work for any strategy..... which is what I plan to include this year.... reminds me of Lucy Calkin's side by side charts... the ones that are exemplars and the ones that you don't necessarily ever want a kid to model. This kind of direct instruction "with your play on it" will really tickle and yet inform the brains of my first graders. I already have the kids rating themselves with a tape recorder for read aloud ... now I can see how they can continue this self-monitoring throughout the year and have concrete and accountable evidence for their rating. Seems like you have taken that underground thinking and made it visible for all of us. Thanks for the tip Pam
