It depends on where we are in the year. In the beginning they are doing whatever it is we have done in the mini lesson (making connections, asking questions, predictions...). They may be making t-charts with their idea/s and evidence from the text...they may be making summary responses ala Comprehension Toolkit (I love these!)...sometimes they are just taking notes. I had a small class this year, so was able to tailor kids' needs to their actual needs. With bigger classes it's not always as easy for me to keep track of who is doing what.
