Building A Life Long Love for Reading!
I believe in differentiating the curriculum to meet the needs of all readers in a classroom. To learn more about these strategies, click on the bulleted links below:
Junior Great Books
Higher level thinking skills are fostered through the use of the Junior Great Books reading methods. Students get involved in higher level questioning and interpreting as they read through quality literature selections. The pure enjoyment of interpreting and developing a point of view to answer interpretive questions becomes contagious as each student tries to sway others with their supporting evidence from the story.
Literature Studies
Students will be involved in taking an in-depth look at an exemplary work of writing or author. Through these studies, students will be exploring literary elements, building vocabulary and making connections between related disciplines of study.
Projects
Students will generally have a choice of projects and a minimum of one week will be allowed for completion. A high degree of effort and workmanship is expected on all projects.
Technology
Students will be utilizing word processing, multimedia software, Internet, and other software programs to help them understand and demonstrate their knowlege learned.
