Readers - I need your help. Iโm working with a high school teacher whoโs interested in running a book club with her leadership students. Letโs hear your YA recommendations that fit with leadership themes.
It's never too late in the school year to talk about increasing our reading volume & uncovering reader identity. This week I spent time with grade 7 & 8 Ss @cwperryschool talking about their reading experiences. We kicked things off by hearing from @JasonReynolds83
1/2 I challenge my fellow teachers to ask their students the question "Can you name a book?" and keep the camera rolling until they are out of titles. I'm confident that the results will be much better than when the @jimmykimmel team hit the streets.
Beyond grateful for the participants of our 4-part literacy learning series. These teachers fully committed to designing learning that empowers students to be engaged readers and writers with an agency all of their own. #rvsliteracy@rvsed
@RebekahODell1 @WallingfordPS@CarrieLaudadio Love this idea for a mentor text with high schoolers. I did a quick google search for the mentor text but couldn't find it. Would you be willing to share?
The First Page Student Writing Challenge is happening this month. Writing contests are a great way to give writers an authentic audience. Thereโs so many great mentor texts that come to mind - Station Eleven, The Marrow Thieves, Scythe.
Earlier this week I had a the chance to visit an outdoor classroom where I observed Ss reading, writing, noticing & wondering in nature. It was a beautiful day to get outside. These Ss learn outside daily, in all seasons - learning beyond the 4 walls. @rvsed
Middle school moments!
I was able to spend the first period with Mr. Perry and his grade 7s. Daily essential literacy practices are routine and well established at @mcmsreads @rvsed
