We are also working on our reading responses to "making connections" questions, and are seeking to show deeper understanding in our answers. We have been putting together some steps that will help guide our paragraphs for this purpose. A full list of the steps and some extra information have been provided on the wiki at: https://husky67.pbworks.com/w/page/25998659/Reading-Response.
Reading Response Guide
Step 1: Snap the question - what information does it give you, and what information is required to answer it? Brainstorm possible answers to what is required.
Step 2: What is the "Big Idea" from the story (what message is the author trying to get the readers to think about)? How does the "Big Idea" relate to the question? Which of your possible answers do you think works best with the "Big Idea"?
Step 3: Brainstorm possible support from the text that will back up your own thinking and the "Big Idea". Make sure your text support relates directly to the question asked.
Step 4: Brainstorm ways to compare (show it's the same) or contrast (show it's different) the message to something in your life. Make sure your ideas relate directly to the question!
Step 5: Organize your response according to the Reading Response anchor.
