Graffiti Splash

   A good friend of mine who is a reading coach, soon to go back into the classroom,  and I have been brainstorming ways to increase student ability to discuss what they are reading. I stumbled upon a graffiti tool from Read, Write, Think. For high school age students this interactive is called a Literary Graffiti interactive. For elementary students the same thing is called a Doodle Splash.  The student draws within the box to depict something from the book--something they learned, something they think, a connection they made. There are also summary and explanation and significance boxes to assist in explaining the student graffiti work. This handout gives you examples of the possibilities in the classroom How else could you use this in the classroom?
