A Thank You…
A few months or so ago we were able to have Liesl Shurtliff visit our school.
She’s the author of RUMP…a 2013 nerdy nominee.
Liesl conferring with a student writer.
It was an awesome visit.
After she left, I had my group of students write what they thought about the visit on a graffiti wall, a take away from my friend Donalyn Miller’s idea of a student response graffiti wall. The great thing about this strategy is that you can use it for practically anything (which is why I think it’s so great)!
This was to be a reflection of sorts.
Here is what they had to say.
A student reflection.
Another reflection.
A reflection.
As you can see, they could remember specific events of the visit. Especially the hook, the way she grabbed their attention and didn’t let go…
Standing on her head. : )
