After you've read, share your thinking with a reader's response!
Always keep in mind that a reader's response is not a summary. Instead, it's a record of your ongoing, personal, and authentic dialog with a text.
Each reader's response entry includes:
entry #
title of literary work
author of literary work
date of response
page numbers read and chapter name (if available)
a passage you tagged with a "sticky note" while you were reading (for graphic novels, this passage could be an image you describe in detail)
a parenthetical citation for the passage.
Each reader's response ALSO includes a paragraph which reveals your dialog with the text by explaining why you tagged the passage. It reveals:
questions you have about the passage and this part of the reading
comments you have about the passage and the part of the reading where the passage occurs
connections ("text to text", "text to world" "text to self") you made to the passage and the part of the reading where the passage occurs.

Sometimes, a reader's response incorporates a response to a prompt. When that happens, be sure to copy the prompt into your reader's response and write your response below the prompt.
