This is the culminating poster word-smithed by 2nd and 3rd grade reading groups at the end of the 3rd quarter.
I made it into a poster but they were the contributors. After spending the entire quarter teaching them the importance to "leave tracks in their thinking" (Harvey & Goudvis, 2008) they really started to pay attention to that little voice in their head that makes all the thinking chatter during oral and silent reading. During my mini-lessons, I would model the use of a Text/My Thinking T-chart and create anchor charts for them to refer back to.
