A Brebeuf College school Collaborative Inquiry, 2014 about Independent Reading & Student Voice. It focuses on incorporating daily Independent Reading (utilizing Penny Kittle’s practical strategies, Blended eLearning communication & feedback tools, along with 21C Learning Skills) to foster student engagement, encourage Student Voice and improve literacy proficiency in ENG1L/1D/2L.
A good children's book engages children's imagination, uses fun language and pictures, and keeps children's attention while involving them in the story. It should be developmentally appropriate and stimulate learning. Classroom libraries are important for children to practice reading, but some argue centralized school libraries are more cost effective. Selection policies help guide book choices and address challenges in a transparent way to avoid censorship accusations.
The document outlines a class project to compile an anthology of short stories about resilience to help young people facing challenges. Students will research resilience by discussing it with other schools, analyzing case studies, and exploring issues like depression. They will then write original stories, publish an eBook, and hold a book launch event. The goal is for students to become experts in resilience, short stories, and The Catcher in the Rye through this collaborative, multi-step process.
A good children's book selection policy is important to avoid censorship challenges and provide guidance for librarians. Selection policies outline the goals for a children's collection and procedures for how books will be chosen. They help defend against accusations of bias and provide transparency in decision making. Some key factors that policies address include developmental appropriateness, appeal to readers, and inclusion of diverse perspectives.
This document discusses several aspects of selecting children's literature, including:
1) What makes an effective children's book depends on the genre - storybooks should have engaging elements while concept books should clearly convey their topic.
2) A good children's book stimulates imagination, uses enjoyable language, has developmentally appropriate content, and keeps children's attention.
3) When helping children choose books, the "Goldilocks strategy" of having them read a few pages and count unfamiliar words helps determine if a book is at their level.
4) Classroom libraries are important for giving students access and practice with reading, but books may become restricted if only available in one classroom. Tracking collections addresses this issue

Want to raise readers be literacy modelsTeri Lesesne
The document discusses the results of a survey of 400 teachers and librarians across Texas about their reading habits and literacy practices. The survey found that most educators read only 1-2 books per month on average. This is concerning given that over 6000 books are published annually for K-12 readers. The document argues that to better support students and be strong literacy role models, educators need professional development to find time to read widely from different genres and formats, stay informed about new literature, and understand students' reading preferences. It provides recommendations for creating a literate school environment where reading is modeled and supported.
The document summarizes the origins and guidelines of #bookaday challenges, which encourage readers to read one book per day and share their thoughts on social media. It began in 2009 as an individual challenge by Donalyn Miller, and expanded in 2010 with the #bookaday hashtag. The challenges have benefits like celebrating reading, expanding one's knowledge of books, and connecting with an online reading community.

When i was a freshman in college i needed a flashlightViisLiam
The document discusses the history and invention of the flashlight. It describes how in 1890, Conrad Hubert developed the first handheld torch, which led him to start the Eveready company known for flashlights and batteries. Hubert's first prototype was made of paper and fiber tubes with a brass reflector and bulb, producing a single flash of light. Flashlights today use LEDs or incandescent bulbs and come in various sizes, powering devices like phones, vehicles, and more. The flashlight has become a ubiquitous tool integral to modern life.
This document discusses various techniques for film composition and lighting based on examples from well-known films. It covers the rule of thirds and how positioning subjects off-center can draw focus. It also discusses using contrasting cool and warm lighting to convey conflict or different emotions. The document analyzes title sequences from films like A Clockwork Orange, The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to show how they immerse viewers without explaining the plot.
La canción habla sobre el dolor de una persona al ser abandonada por su amor. Compara sus sentimientos con un árbol en otoño que pierde sus hojas y las flores que daba, quedando seco y sin vida. Aunque su corazón fue lastimado como si hubiera sido apuñalado, lo peor es seguir con vida a pesar del dolor causado por la pérdida.
Francis Marion, Irregular Life of an Irregular WarriorCraig Campbell
This document provides a summary of the life and career of Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox" for his guerilla tactics against the British in South Carolina during the American Revolutionary War. It describes how Marion helped keep the dream of American independence alive after the fall of Charleston through hit-and-run attacks on British forces from hiding places in the swamps. Though he never commanded a large army, Marion's irregular warfare tied down British troops and allowed other American forces to regroup against the British. The document provides background on Marion's early life and military service prior to the Revolutionary War, and highlights some of his key campaigns and successes in harassing the British as the "Swamp Fox" through tactics learned fighting
The current account, lrbc and consumption smoothingAsusena Tártaros
The document discusses the long-run budget constraint (LRBC) and how it relates to consumption smoothing. It shows that in an open economy, consumption can remain smooth even if there is a temporary shock to output, as the country can run a trade deficit financed by borrowing from abroad. However, for a permanent shock, both closed and open economies must cut consumption immediately and fully. Financial globalization thus allows countries to better cope with temporary fluctuations in output.

This document provides an overview of Week 5's focus on reading instruction and resources. It outlines the topics to be covered in Weeks 5 and 6, including reading theory, strategies, assessment, and struggling readers. Teachers are asked to review curriculum documents on teaching reading and explore listed resources to help implement the reading strand. They are then asked to choose one resource to discuss in a forum post, explaining what it is, why it's useful, and how they might use it in practice. The document also includes discussion questions on reading experiences and challenges, as well as an overview of the Gradual Release of Responsibility model of reading instruction involving modelled, shared, guided, and independent reading.
This document provides an overview and objectives for an English 1A course titled "Remix: Reflect, Inform, Persuade". The course will focus on developing writing skills, analyzing techniques in fiction and non-fiction, conducting research, and understanding arguments. It will examine how contemporary culture and identity shape each other. Students will complete reading and writing assignments, participate in discussions, and explore how writing and reading are connected as ways of thinking and discovering beliefs. The course aims to develop confident, critical thinkers through an engaged community of learners.
This document provides an overview of Week 5's focus on reading instruction and resources for teachers. It discusses marking, affect vs effect, and a professional learning opportunity. Week 5 will focus on reading theory, the importance of reading, behaviors, and strategies. Week 6 will focus on practice, assessment, struggling readers, and growth mindset. Teachers are asked to review curriculum expectations and explore listed resources to implement the reading strand. They will critique one resource and discuss how it addresses principles or expectations. The document also discusses the importance of literacy, challenges some students face with reading, and the Gradual Release of Responsibility model of moving from teacher-led instruction to independent student work.
The Common Core standards emphasize reading nonfiction texts and analyzing multiple perspectives. This represents a shift from the traditional focus on fiction and personal responses. To meet the standards, librarians must collaborate closely with teachers to provide resources across different subjects and media. Students need opportunities to compare how different sources discuss the same topics and evaluate evidence. The librarian can play a key role in helping students and teachers navigate this change by understanding the standards and building teams to coordinate resources.
This document discusses teaching writing genres with authentic purposes and audiences. It argues that teaching genres in this way motivates and engages students by empowering them to read and write for real reasons. It provides examples of teaching different genres like narratives, biographies, procedures, and persuasives with authentic purposes, such as creating books for younger students or writing how-to manuals for the community. The document emphasizes that students will produce higher quality writing when they know a real audience will read their work beyond just the teacher.
This document discusses strategies for engaging reluctant readers in urban classrooms. It begins by reviewing data that shows achievement gaps in reading proficiency between white, black, and Hispanic students. It then discusses the differences between struggling and reluctant readers, with reluctant readers needing motivation to actually read. The document proposes several strategies to engage reluctant readers, including getting interesting books into students' hands, allowing for differentiated instruction and multimodal learning, providing support for struggling readers, and promoting recreational reading. It suggests that books for reluctant readers have catchy covers, exciting artwork, engaging characters and plots, and themes appealing to teenagers. The goal is to help motivate urban students to read.
This document provides guidance for establishing book clubs for English language learners. It discusses defining literacy, student needs and interests, access to texts, and motivation. A needs assessment survey and talking to students to determine interests are recommended. A variety of genres and accessibility of texts levels are important. Successful strategies include partner work, visual aids, modeling, and allowing use of native language. Choosing culturally relevant texts and providing student choice and a comfortable reading environment can boost motivation. Book clubs should include community sharing, reading, writing, discussion, and be fun.
The document provides an overview of the Australian Curriculum (AC) and how it is implemented in Victoria through AusVELS. It explains that AusVELS takes the AC verbatim and places it within the Victorian Essential Learning Standards framework. It addresses teacher confusion around changing curriculums and suggests focusing on fewer key skills and mastery of core concepts. The document provides examples of different types of curriculum units and emphasizes designing units to maximize learning through measurable objectives and feedback opportunities.
This document discusses adolescent literacy development and strategies for teaching literacy. It addresses connecting classroom literacy to students' real-world experiences and communities. Several key ideas are explored, including tapping into students' prior knowledge, making learning experiences relevant and inquiry-based, and using authentic assessments like interviews, observations, and portfolios. The goal is to understand what literacy means to students and bridge gaps between school and their lives outside of school.
MRA2014 Facilitating Choice Within Curriculum Constraints PresentationJillian @heisereads
This document discusses methods for incorporating student choice in reading within the English Language Arts classroom. It begins by outlining the benefits of choice reading, including improved reading skills, increased engagement and motivation. It then examines how the Common Core State Standards support student choice in reading material. Various methods for facilitating choice are presented, including allowing students to choose from text sets aligned with themes or genres, individual novel selection, and replacing whole-class novels with options like read-alouds. Student feedback indicates that choice reading leads to increased reading enjoyment and motivation. Specific examples of implementing choice units that pair young adult novels with classics are also shared.
The document provides guidance and questions for an assignment on chapter 1 of Essentials of Children's Literature. Students are instructed to read the chapter, post answers to discussion questions on a discussion board, and respond to at least 3 other posts. The document also includes additional questions about defining children's literature, choosing quality books, the academic and personal values of literature, and finding book titles and reviews.
This document discusses strategies for teaching reluctant readers in urban classrooms. It addresses identifying struggling and reluctant readers, motivating students to read, and using differentiated instructional approaches. Specific strategies recommended include allowing audio or visual supports, providing additional time, encouraging internet use, promoting recreational reading, modeling think-alouds, ensuring access to engaging books, and incorporating student choice. The goal is to help reluctant readers develop positive associations with reading through appealing content and role models.
The document discusses recommendations for effective units to teach English for years 7-9 based on the Australian curriculum. It suggests focusing units on big ideas, critical awareness, genres/text types, and responding to texts. Example unit topics are listed for each area and year level. Multimodal texts and those exploring cross-curriculum priorities like sustainability are also recommended resources. The goal is to do fewer things in the curriculum but explore those topics in more depth so students better master key concepts and skills.
Structuring Student Book Clubs to Encourage CollaborationLauren Zucker
Demo lesson presented at Fordham University's Developing Digital Literacies Institute on July 29, 2014.
Using a variety of digital tools (e.g., goodreads.com, Google forms, Google docs) allows students to make responsible choices, take ownership of their learning, and demonstrate their understanding in multiple modes.
This session will focus on reinventing independent reading to encourage more collaboration, both online and face-to-face.

Visuals
Recognizing the importance of visual communication, the 13th edition of Explor-
ing Language includes updated visuals. In addition to the nine photographic chap-
ter openers , we have added cartoons, print ads , comic strips, posters, sign language
charts, photographs, and more. Following each visual are "Thinking Critically"
questions, directing students to analyze the "language" of the images-the messages
and commentary projected from the designs and layouts . Each chapter includes
an editorial cartoon designed to connect to a current issue as well as the chapter ' s
theme.
Instructor's Manual
The Instructor 's Manual, which is available to adopters, includes suggested responses
to selected questions in the text. The Instructor's Manual also identifies questions
that are particularly good for in-class discussion or collaborative student work and
provides recommendations for additional online research.
Acknowledgments
Many people behind the scenes are, at the very least, deserving of thanks and
acknowledgment for their help with this 13th edition. It is impossible to thank
all of them, but there are some for whose help I am particularly grateful. I would

Whenever you read a magazine article, newspaper editorial, or a piece of advertis-
ing and find yourself questioning the claims of the authors, you are exercising the
basics of critical thinking . Instead of taking what you read at face value, you look
beneath the surface of words and think about their meaning and significa.
This document outlines the Schoolwide Enrichment Model for reading (SEM-R), which aims to increase reading achievement and address the needs of talented readers. It discusses three phases: Phase 1 exposes students to a wide range of books and employs questioning to engage students. Phase 2 involves supported independent reading with individual conferences. Phase 3 allows student-directed explorations through interest-based activities. The goal is to encourage joyful, challenging, and self-directed reading through choice, skill development, and creative opportunities that develop students' interests.
This document discusses strategies for helping reluctant readers. It shows that minority students and those in lower grades struggle most with reading proficiency. Differentiation strategies are recommended like allowing extra time or using audio books. Getting books into students' hands is important, with choices that have appealing covers, characters, and plots. Reluctant readers prefer books with role models, problem solving, and realistic themes. Providing choice and discussing books can help motivate reluctant readers.
Digital media can encourage social interaction and promote learning outcomes. Teacher-librarians at four Brisbane schools – two boys' and two girls' schools - initiated a collaborative project to foster creative writing in Year 8 students. This project explored the notion of shared writing, challenging students to produce a joint story.

19. FINAL ACTIVITY
LEARNING ACTIVITY RUBRICS
Collaboration - students required to share responsibility and make decisions with
other people. Work should be interdependent in creating a final multimedia artifact
(e.g. a common, class website or portfolio to share and showcase presentations and
reading lists and book reviews via QR codes).
Knowledge Construction - interpret, analyse, synthesize, or evaluate information or
ideas from the course and from independent reading.
Real-World Problem Solving and Innovation - develop a solution to the problem of
how best to share and encourage independent reading suggestions
- design and share a multimedia product that targets the Brebeuf reading community
Skilled Communication - extended communication is required might take the form of
an infographic, video, podcast, or a page of a presentation that connects or
illustrates several ideas...
Self-Regulation - students will plan and assess their own work, and revise their work
based on teacher and peer feedback.
Use of ICT for Learning - students will use ICT (e.g. D2L &/or QR codes) to support
knowledge construction and be designers of an ICT product (multimedia
presentation/web site/portfolio) for an authentic audience (Brebeuf community).
24. CHOICE = VOICE
“Students need to make choices in reading that
reflect their interests because interest drives
engagement.
Teachers should encourage wide reading in all
genres as well as students who pursue an author
or genre study.
Allow students to reread favorite books and to
abandon a book that no longer interests them.”
