In a way, each one of these little posts in OLDaily is me reading metacognitively. I could imagine myself asking "Does it look right and sound right? Can I picture the story? Can I retell the story? Does my mind feel good?" What I like about this is that none of these address my memory of the story - they're all focused on what I feel and what I can do after having read the story. Brooke MacKenzie writes, "After we read the poem, I ask, 'What do you think this is about? What words in the poem make you think that? What do you picture as you read it?'"
