Ideas. What are the students' ideas about what they have read?
How can they put those ideas into their own words? Of course,
this entails that they be able to agree or disagree with the
author's or character's point of view. Is what they have read
applicable to their lives? If they were the author how would
they structure the reading, start the reading and/or end the
reading? Creativity. Reading opens up a whole new world, one in
which a student's imagination is permitted to wander freely. Get
students thinking about the writing process, and by doing this
they will become better readers. - For Teachers
