Workshop 7. Many Students: Many Voices and Abilities

BJ Namba observes as her class share personal thoughts about the book they are reading.

Classroom Connection

Student Activities

Try these activities with your students.

Suggest to students that reading does not have to be a private, individual activity all the time. Introduce them to one or more of the social reading activities such as conversation partners, book buddies, or reading experiences portrayed in this video.

Use the Teacher Tool Social Reading Strategies (PDF) in the support materials of this session for suggested approaches.
Offer students alternate ways of responding to their reading such as Sketch to Stretch (PDF) (used by BJ Namba).
