Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Do you want to allow your students voice and choice when responding to a reading assignment? This Reader’s Response Activity incorporates UDL (Universal Design for Learning) principles as it allows students to choose how to respond to a prompt: video/audio, typing a response, or writing a response. The Universal Design for Learning Guidelines (udlguidelines.cast.org) includes offering your students multiple means of action and expression as well as offering alternative ways of displaying information (auditory and visual). This activity includes textual and auditory instructions as well as three different ways for students to respond to a reading prompt of their choice. After your students have completed a reading assignment, make a copy of this activity, and add two or more reading response prompts on the first page before assigning. Allowing students choice (choosing a prompt and how to respond) can increase engagement and encourages them to take ownership over their learning.
