Instructional Ideas

• On the last day of school, invite pupils to share their books with one another and add to the autograph page
• Support students by walking them through some of the more difficult response sections and providing sentence frames and starters

Classroom Considerations

• The lines for learners to write on vary in size; some are a bit on the smaller side, so you may wish to offer the option to type up a response and paste it in the space

Pros

• Asks learners to think about goals, reflect on their learning and other achievements, practice writing brief narratives, and consider current events
• The instructions on each page are clear

Cons

• None
