The document provides checklists for students and teachers regarding kidblog posts about books. The student checklist includes items for the student to include in their own post such as the title, author, and a 4-6 sentence summary. It also prompts the student to write about their favorite part or character, include an inference, ask a question, and sign their name. The response checklist then prompts the student to read and comment on two other blogs, asking a question to one blogger and providing their own thoughts if the other blogger is in their reading group, as well as giving a specific compliment and signing their comment.

Checklist
I included the Title of the book.
I included the Author of the book.
I included a short (4 – 6 sentences) summary of the
book. **
I wrote about one of the following:
1. My favorite part of the book was…because
2. My favorite Character in the book was…because
3. This book reminds me of…
I looked to see if there were clues in the book where
the author was allowing me to make an inference
and I shared my inference with my reader.
(Remember an inference is when you use the clues
that the author gives you to determine what might
happen next, how a person feels, etc.)
I asked my reader a question.
I ended my blog by signing my name.
** A summary includes information about the main characters, the setting, and the plot
(what the story is about).
