Chapter #6 Capitalize on Reading-Writing Connection

I was encouraged to hear about the connection between reading and writing. I often have students write about expository text, but seldom have them write in other genres. I was also enlightened about the use of response journals. "Be sure that students spend more time reading than writing about their reading" P. 126

I also like the "Framework" section. Setting a purpose, assessing knowledge, demonstrating how to summarize and giving feedback. The feedback is one the most critical parts in my opinion. Students need to know how to get better.
