Interacting with Texts for both Native and Non-Native Speakers of English

By using several popular young adult novels (Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman, The Wave by Todd Strasser, Tunes for Bears to Dance To by Robert Cormier, The Lilies of the Field by William E. Barrett, The Pearl by John Steinbeck, and Anthem by Ayn Rand), the presenter will offer participants practical techniques to use in the classroom such as previewing, the traits of good readers, and vocabulary development. Schema building will be explored through activities aimed at the interaction of the “top down” and “bottom up” approach to comprehending texts. Participants will leave the session with a sample syllabus, some new activities, their current reading rate, and a checklist for better reading. (S. Krahsen, 1982; D.E. Eskey, 2002; J.M.

This document is a summer reading form from Wayne County High School's English Department. It requires students and parents to select and sign for approval of at least two reading selections for the student's upcoming grade level. The form explains that students must read the selections over the summer and be tested on their choices in the fall. It lists four titles of reading material for each grade level (9th-12th) for students and parents to choose from and sign next to. It notes that parents and students should obtain copies of the texts early since stores and libraries may have limited availability of the popular titles.
This document provides information about a professional development lesson for teachers on screencasts. The lesson was designed for all teachers at Wayne County High School, but focuses particularly on the English department. The lesson uses the ARCS model of motivation to grab teachers' attention with the lesson topic and make screencasts relevant to their work. Teachers will learn how to create screencasts through resources provided and have opportunities to try it themselves. Assessments include answering essential questions and participating in discussion about screencasts.
This unit was designed for kindergarten students to learn about rhyming words through reading the book "I'm a Duck!" over multiple lessons. Students will identify rhyming words in the story, create rhymes of their own, and write a narrative paragraph imagining what their named duckling did the next day. Formative assessments include identifying rhyming words, matching rhyming word cards, and pre-writing a cluster diagram. The summative assessment has students illustrate their duckling, write a sentence with its name and rhyme, and create 3 rhyming word pairs from their paragraph scored on a rubric.
The document discusses a survey conducted at Wayne County High School to identify technology needs. Based on teacher and student surveys, a prioritized list of needed technology items was created: [1] Classroom response systems to enhance instruction, [2] Read aloud software for students who require material to be read aloud, and [3] MP3 players with headsets so students can listen to read aloud material without interrupting class. Several product options are provided for each identified need.
This annotated bibliography summarizes 10 research articles on collaboration between media specialists and secondary teachers to implement technology and information literacy in schools. The articles discuss the benefits of collaboration, provide models and strategies for effective collaboration, and emphasize the media specialist's role in teaching information literacy skills. Several articles highlight increased student achievement outcomes from collaboration between teachers and media specialists.
The document summarizes and critiques an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) from the ***** County School System. It finds that the AUP has several strengths, including clearly stating that internet access is for educational purposes only, acknowledging the risk of inappropriate content online, providing detailed lists of acceptable and unacceptable uses, and requiring signature pages. However, it notes that the AUP is missing a definition section to clarify key terms, as recommended by experts. Overall, the document analyzes the components and effectiveness of the ***** County AUP based on industry standards for AUP policies.
