Embraced By Words
Many resources have been discovered over the last few months. I will be sharing the following resources with teachers tomorrow.
Thoughts Before The Resources:
- You find a great article, you give it to students, they don't read it because they know the teacher will give them everything they need to know from the article. Determine a new way to allow students time to gather the important information from the text.
- Pose a real life, driving question that can allow students to pull the needed information from the text
- Allow students to state the questions that they have from the text that could enhance the driving question or providing them a purpose to find more text to answer the questions.
