I quickly learned that the more detail and attention I put into the writing assignments, the better students’ writing was. Today’s media-savvy students compose and read texts that include alphabetic- and character-based print, still images, video, and sound.

Some of the books we read are done as a whole class, but the students are always independently reading their own selections. Offering boy "type" books and fun books such as Regarding the Fountain by Kate Klise helps some of our reluctant ones to find something of interest.

I have to agree with Lee Ann Hoffman's comments about having a better understanding of our students and what they enjoy.

The idea that we all read what interests us is no different for students. Teachers are very unaware of what young adult literature is available. It is our responsibility be aware of what authors are writing for our students just as doctors should know what pharmaceuticals are available for their Lee Ann Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797042728310326875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590444740864607060.post-86530485987191738582008-02-12T21:41:00.000-06:002008-02-12T21:41:00.000-06:00One of my favorite motivators for my sophomore cla...One of my favorite motivators for my sophomore classes of 30 students is The 100 Books Challenge. Students read whatever books they would like to read, and as they finish, they give a brief book talk and write the book's title on the 100 Books poster in the classroom.
