Description:
During guided reading groups students use talking bubble shaped Post-it® Notes to write what characters may be thinking as they they read a story. This especially encourages making inferences to character motives or feelings.
Instructions:
Step 1: On 1-2 illustrations of characters in the text, place a speech bubble shaped sticky above the character's head. I draw little circles at the base to make them thinking bubbles.
Step 2: Introduce books for guided reading group. As they read students will infer what the character is thinking in specified places of the story and write their ideas on the post-it.
Step 3: After reading students share their ideas and why they think the character may be thinking what they wrote.
