Hello old friends. Are we settled into the new year enough to talk?

One of my big goals this year comes from CCSS. I'm working on having kids retell and then cite text when forming opinions. I'm wondering if you have any brilliant ideas for going about this. I'm simply modeling and we're practicing a lot.

I'm having a modicum of success, but hope you have additional suggestions for me.

Best story from this year: Emily was citing text ("You know how Mr. Say said....") and sharing her thinking when she interrupted herself to say, "Wait, I'm changing my thinking..." I loved that! I loved it so much I didn't even interrupt her to point out to the other kids what a remarkable example of synthesis we'd just heard.

Thanks, Judy
