    R&R Reading Responses


    Purpose

    To explore the Big Questions of the course in relation to texts from the field
    To bring your personal experiences into relationship with course readings and research

    Big Questions: Who + What + When/Where + Why + How = Good ELA teaching

    Rationale:
    Each week, I will ask you to compose a 1-3 page response to a text (I will provide choices
    from which you will choose one). This response is pass/fail (complete/incomplete): to pass
    you must attempt it by the due date and follow the guidelines. The most important thing
    here is to write about what is important to you.

    Process:
    1. Choose/Read I expect you to choose and read one of the texts I supply
    each week and will grade you accordingly; however, I also recognize that you
    have busy liveshere are some tips for reading course texts.
    a. How does this text relate to the Big Question/Sub-question? The texts I
    have chosen are meant to help you explore aspects of the courses
    overarching inquiry focus from different angles. You get to choose which
    text to address with this focus in mind.
    b. How do the examples compare to my own experience? I usually ask
    you to bring the readings into relationship with experiences from your life or your
    research. Look for how new concepts in research or practitioner texts are applied to
    classroom examples; in a research text, this usually happens in a section called
    Findings or Results (or somewhere in the second half of an article or book). Then
    think about how those examples compare to your own experiences or the data you
    will analyzehow are they similar or different? How might those
    similarities/differences matter?
    2. Write After choosing and reading, you will write a 1-3 page response, post it to
    CANVAS, and bring it to class in preparation for discussion. When you write, consider:
    a. What is my purpose? Please dont summarize the readings except as they pertain to
    the argument/interpretation you make.
    b. How can I use the text to address the Big Question(s)? The
    important thing here is not to write beautiful prose or agree with any
    one perspectiveits writing to go further into our shared area of
    inquiry. Take it to the text!
    c. What do I get out of this? The most important thing is that you write
    something that matters to you, something that helps you learn more
    about your own teaching!

    Evaluation:
    This assignment is pass/fail. (complete/incomplete): to pass you must attempt it by the due
    date and follow the guidelines. The most important thing here is to write about what is
    important to you.
