					<description><![CDATA[New to teaching writing about reading—or supporting someone who is? This post offers a concrete way to introduce jotting without turning it into an interruption or another task students complete simply because the teacher requires it. Students learn to pause, capture an emerging thought, and return to reading. Later, they revisit and sort their jots, often alongside a partner, club, or teacher, to decide which ideas are worth developing in their reading notebooks. A quick jot can be the beginning of much bigger thinking when students are taught how to grow an idea through writing.]]></description>
