Um Espaço de Diálogo Do Aluno Com o Texto
In its most basic form, a Reading Diary is a record of what a student has read. It can
simply list the titles of books or magazine articles. A more comprehensive Reading Diary,
however, includes much more detail. It helps turn reading into a thinking process by
making students reflect upon what they have read.
Students should evaluate what they have read by considering some of these questions:
What did I think the poem/story would be about before reading it?
How was the poem/story different from what I had first thought?
How did the poem/story make me feel?
Does anything in the poem/story make me associate it with something else (such as
another poem/story, a film, an incident in my life, a song, etc.)?
Does a part of the poem/story seem similar to me or to a part of my life?
What do I like or dislike about it?
Has the poem/story changed my ideas or opinions in some way? How?
If there are illustrations, how do they complement the poem/story?
What lines or expressions did I particularly enjoy? Why?
