[Day] Eight [Purpose/ Objective] Materials: Chart paper already marked with these three questions (straight from Debbie Miller's book Reading With Meaning): What do we know about asking questions? How does asking questions help the reader? How do readers figure out the answers to their questions? See a picture of this poster below: [Lesson] 
Give each student a sticky note. Ask them to share their thoughts. I gave them a chance to write something to answer the first question. Then they turned to a neighbor and discussed what they wrote. That gave kids who had a hard time thinking, more chances to write. Then students were able to share their thoughts- or their partners. We did this for each question. Then all sticky notes were posted on the chart. After the lesson I sorted though all the posit- its, discarded the repeats and copied them down on the anchor chart that know hags in our room!
