Are You Up For A Visualizing Challenge?
Reading Response: Week of October 18, 2010
Many of you last week were able to give some vivid descriptive sentences from what you were reading at home which helped you to visualize. Let’s continue our discussion again this week, but with this challenge…. If you used a fictional book last week, try using a nonfictional text this week. Likewise, if you visualized from a nonfictional text last week, try your hand now at using a fictional text. Have fun! Be sure to include your book’s title, what you visualized, and the text’s descriptive phrases in your blog.

Picture This!
Reading Response Question For The Week Of October 11-15:
Visualizing is “picture-making” in your mind! It can make the words on a page become ferocious fire-breathing beasts on one page or a gentle breeze blowing across a field on another. When the author uses words that are descriptive, we can use our imaginations to create a mental movie that makes us feel like we are actually part of the action!
Think about the book you are reading at home. What words or phrases did you find especially easy to visualize? Which part of the book made the mental pictures come into your mind?
