- Kodi- 5 min
- Maria- 10 min ----- Meeting Notes (3/5/16 20:28) ----- The kids are finding things they are interested in reading. Maria gives anecdote about Eva "not liking reading". There is a book for everyone. Reading is accessible for everyone!
- ----- Meeting Notes (3/5/16 20:05) ----- Tell them: Use the forum on Moodle to write all questions down and we will cover them during the Q & A period at the end.

- Kodi
- Kodi ----- Meeting Notes (3/5/16 19:58) ----- Two Columns: Students Advantages vs Teacher Advantages ----- Meeting Notes (3/5/16 20:02) ----- Opportunity to keep the content specific to your discipline and grade level. ----- Meeting Notes (3/5/16 20:10) ----- Advantages come at the end. We literally have no idea if these kids are engaged most of the time. This assignment forces them to be engaged and allows us to quickly assess if they are. They can’t “fake” this assignment. Allows teachers to be more aware. Shows students that reading is an experience, a personal experience. Writing and Reading is a process, and that’s the beauty of it.
