Assignment for Week 6

Discussing and providing the various genres to students will enable them to grow as students. Different genres could be "featured" each week in the library. Students could share their think-alouds with classmates. Each student would bring a different viewpoint into the discussions, which will allow a better understanding of that concept or genre. The library could also showcase the different genres around the library, having books that go with that genre featured.

Wow! That idea just blew me out of the water! Just think what that would do for our students. Talk about teach to mastery.

Sometimes a good way to introduce new characters or authors in a story it to let the students become the characters or the authors. They will choose which character they want to become and dress like that character and also tell a little bit about the book they read.
