DIRECTIONS FOR "WAVE" ASSIGNMENTS

OP: STANDS FOR ORIGINAL POST. This will be your initial posting after each reading. Consider it your nightly reading response! Each OP is worth 10 points and will consist of the following:
1. Ms. I’s question(s): check Ms. I’s blog for question(s) on that reading section (3-5 sentence response)
2. Important Sentence: Each student will QUOTE (copy exactly) a sentence that jumped out at them as extremely interesting, unusual, and important, AND label with a page number. Explain why it stood out or why you feel it’s important in 2-5 sentences.
3. Student-created discussion question: Each student should raise a question/topic for the group to consider, using the guidelines for responding to literature in your binder. These questions should be related to reading strategies or literary terms. SEE OTHER POST FOR SPECIFICS.

CO: STANDS FOR COMMENTS: Each student will then be responsible for reading all group members' OP’s once the due date has passed. Then, you will have time to complete your comments to each member in your group, TOTAL OF 2 COMMENTS TO EACH MEMBER FOR EVERY ASSIGNMENT. ONE of those must be a thoughtful answer to #3 above, the student created question. You will also be required to post a comment about #1 or #2, depending on what the group deems a more interesting discussion topic. You will have time in class to check in and choose focus questions for discussion as well. Comments are worth 10 points per assignment. Comments should be a minimum of 3 sentences and NOT exceed 6!! (“Cool, I agree” will not be enough to earn your pointsJ)
