Thank you to everyone for responding to my request. We certainly recognize the importance of recognizing student achievement, but the gold star system was so competitive that it wasn't uncommon for teachers to write the responses. I'm certain they reached consensus as a class and students provided important feedback, but the purpose of the exercise was for students to think critically about an issue, debate the issue in class and clearly communicate their choice to the student audience. Sometimes that important component got lost in an effort to win the prize. Jill - I do love the "Forest of Reading" idea. Our entire program is about given students ownership over their learning environment. This is a PERFECT fit for us. Thank you all!
