Readers response is very important. It helps both the student and the teacher. For the student it gives them that reinforcement of what they have read and learned. If they didn't understand it helps them catch up with everyone else so they can also be on the same page. Maybe by doing the readers response it would give them a better understanding of what they read. For the teacher it is great cause you can see if the students liked the reading and if they understood it. The teacher can check for comprehension and see witch students need more help.

For the readers response there are a lot of activities you could do with the students to help keep it interesting. They can do webs, journals, a mask like we did in class, or group discussion. As teachers we want to make sure the activity apples to the book.

My favorite book that we read had to be Arizona. I really liked how she had an impact on her students. She always wanted them to be dreaming of the future so they could better themselves. And she treated the students with great respect.
The book I did not like was the the bones, it was a little weired that the bone was talking. The end was pretty good though. It was an interesting ending.
