Reflecting and commenting on reading responses

1. Make sure you have added your new group members' blogs to your blog list. Later you can add the rest of the class.

2. After reading your responses, I chose 1 in each class to focus on. Let's read this together.

• What are the strengths of this response? 
• How does the writer make you excited or interested in the text?

3. Read the posts in your assigned group. Write a comment. You will be responsible for reading and commenting on your group's blogs every other week, due Mondays after posts are due.

• agree/disagree with the writer's perspective or interpretation and explain why
• offer suggestions for reading - what texts have you read that relate to the response?
• make connections - what does the response make you think, feel, or know?
• ask questions for further discussion
• other: write at least 3-5 sentences; be respectful and use appropriate language

4. Based on the posts we read, what are the qualities of a RAD response?
