@GraceMarie118 I think it depends on the text and the focus of the read aloud

[Dana @driordan22]

@GraceMarie118 sometimes.. it makes it easier to go on a detour from your lessons with text to self connections & things of that nature.

[Dana @driordan22]

@GraceMarie118 I agree. Those are def. set in my room & continue 2 be reinforced but I have a rough bunch. Public school, 1 teacher, 21 kids

[Dana @driordan22]

turn & talks are great.. BUT only when your students are responsible & can handle that freedom #5534livechat

[Dana @driordan22]

although picking the book is half the battle I would love that freedom esp. in order to relate to the class culture #5534livechat

@GraceMarie118 u just replied! Finally I went & made a whole new twitter just to do this. After I showed up in class & saw it was cancelled

#5534livechat @gracemarie118 can you see my tweets this time?

[Dana @driordan22]

@GraceMarie118 thats very true. I do it often with a two day read aloud and a completely different focus both days. #5534livechat
