In my classroom, students grades 3-5 will be practicing reading during [|Daily 5] When they complete a book, whether it is a chapter book or a picture book they will be required to give a short retell of the book and provide their opinion and or recommendation of the book. This assignment will be due once a month. The student may use any of the five ways to respond to the book. Additionally, the cover of the book must be included in their review.
