Why BOOKSNAPS?

We will be using BOOKSNAPS as a visual way to connect to the text and share our reaction to what we read.

While reading think about:

  • how the text makes you feel.
  • images that pop into your mind.
  • what this reminds you about.
  • the way it is written
    • figurative language, imagery,
    • symbolism, tone, etc
  • predictions or foreshadowing.
  • questions you have.
