The purpose of a Response Log is for students to discuss and respond in writing to what they read at home (a picture book, or <span style="text-decoration: underline">one</span> chapter from a chapter book.) 

There are only 3 questions that the students must respond to during the week.  The students may only respond to one question per night and the questions can be completed in any order.  Each answer should be at least 3 sentences long, written neatly by the students, and with correct grammar and punctuation. (The responses can be written on a separate sheet of paper.) 

Although there are only 3 questions, the students should be reading <span style="text-decoration: underline">every night</span>.   Just like the Reading Contract, the completed Response Log will be collected every Monday.

My suggestion is that the students choose their question before they start their reading.  This will set a purpose for reading and the students can keep the question in mind as they read. 

I am very excited to read what the students are thinking as they read at home.  Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
