The 4 boxes in the top row are all based on skills in response to the book - text response, comprehension, taxonomy and word work. The 4 boxes on the bottom are strategy responses. Right now we are doing connections and visualization so those are the boxes I'm choosing for my students to use. They will change throughout the year as we concentrate on different strategies.
