Ways to Use Reading Response Jamboards in Your Classroom

There are a lot of ways to use Jamboards during reading. Here are just a few ways I love using Jamboard templates in my classroom:

Using Jamboard to Talk about Nonfiction Texts

My students love reading nonfiction, really about anything. They love learning new facts and how things work in the world.  It’s sometimes hard to get students to share their ideas without having a few students do a lot of the work and thinking.

Here are some of my favorite templates that I like to use with my students:
