Jamboard Templates for Reading Response Figurative Language Digital Resources

Imagine having your students actually excited about responding to a text. No more pulling teeth to get your students to participate. When you use Jamboard, students want to respond. Wishing you had more structure and were better planned for your small groups? These Jamboards can do that too. Running out of wall space for all those anchor charts? Jamboard!

Collaborative Google Slides used to be my favorite, but Jamboard makes it even easier (and more eye appealing) for all of your students to respond to discussion questions digitally. Simply share the link with your students.

6 Ways to Use Our Reading Response Jamboards

• Use a Jamboard after you've finished a read aloud to have students tell you what the lesson of the story was.
• During your mini-lesson on Character Analysis, have students add a sticky note to show an example of the character's thoughts, feelings, actions, or what they said.
• After your mini-lesson on nonfiction lingo and bold words, have students independent read. On a class Jamboard, have students record a few of the lingo words or bold words from that text.
• Give each student a copy of the Main Ideas and Details Jamboard to complete after reading a Scholastic text.
• In your small group, make duplicate frames of the Character Map Jamboard so that each student can work on their own frame during the lesson. Easily see each student's progress as you click through each frame.
• Save your precious wall space by using the templates as anchor charts. Project them during reading time, when you really need them displayed. Don't have room for pocket charts to display reading partners? Put each name on a sticky note and group partners together. Easily change them up all year.
