Category Description for Reflections: Student Response Journals for the Classics
Reflect on what you read and how it affects you. This is the premise behind the Prestwick House Reading Response Journals. Somewhat different from the more typical literature study guide, these journals provide thoughtful questions about well-loved literature selections along with suggestions for writings. All sorts of writings – paragraphs, letters, poetry, editorials, essays, speeches, journal entries, and much more. Chapter-by-chapter through the book, there are numbered writing prompts (usually 2-4) for each chapter. The student is encouraged to read the book for enjoyment, but also to sift through the prompts noting their personal response and choosing the ones they wish to formalize with a writing activity. The goal is thoughtful interaction with the story; to provide ideas with support from the text rather than just opinions. A wrap-up set of prompts follows each book's conclusion. Plus, there is a cumulative multiple-choice test (just for good measure). A reproducible response sheet template is provided as is a reproducible class record sheet. Some, but not all, titles include a test answer key. Permission to copy the unit for use in the classroom is extended to purchaser for personal use. Includes 28-44 pgs., stapled. ~ Janice/Judy
