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!
