Julie- I really like your idea about using this for fiction text to expose students to it before using it with nonfiction. I was also thinking that it would be great to use with students during writing as they check to be sure that they have included everything in their writing prompt or story. It would be great for them to fill in a story map as well. Knowing my students from last school year this would have been a great activity for them to complete during centers either at the listening center or the big book center. I think that the modeling is key and creating a rubric to go with it would also be beneficial so that students have clear and high expectations. I am really excited to use this strategy with my kids next year!! I think that they will really benefit from this strategy!
