The "four square" page is simply four empty boxes--no individual purpose for any of the boxes other than to provide an organizational tool for hanging on to those precious notes that hold all that thinking. By the way, I conference one-on-one with the kids as they read independently (2-4 kids per day) and I also randomly call on kids at the end of our 15-30 minute indep.reading time to share their thinking (what they wrote on those sticky notes), so I'm holding them accountable to stick with the strategy and to actually record their thinking. Also, this 5-10 minute follow-up time provides such rich conversation and new insights to the strategies as we can discuss misunderstandings and different ways of looking at things in the text.
