Summer+Read+Details

=Summer Reading Details= & ** How does thinking/not thinking become a habit for learners? ** & **What needs to change in your instruction to make thinking so routine that students do it naturally?** & **What strategies will work best for you?** & **Why does classroom culture need to adapt to 21st century learners?** & **What themes in the novel are universal and not unique to this generation?** & **What themes are unique to 21st century learners?** & **What ethical dilemmas exist in the book that are worthy of discussion?** & **What major idea(s) from the book are worthy of discussion with our students?** & **How could a discussion about an entertaining book become one where thinking and understanding on a deep level occur?** With inquiry questions in mind, read the works and think about how each speaks to these important questions. Throughout the summer, post your reactions to the works and discuss them with others by logging into http://hebsummer2012.wikispaces.com. (This wiki will become live June 4, 2012, and close on Sept. 1, 2012.) Or, if you want to read the books but prefer not discussing online, save your thoughts and attend the live discussion on Aug. 13 at the PMC. Or, do some discussing/reacting online AND come to the Book Club discussion! Hopefully, in addition to being fun and allowing us to interact with our colleagues, this experience will also prepare participants to form discussion groups for their students online and lead them in participating positively in class discussion over literature and current event topics, an activity incorporating many college and career readiness skills. Handouts will be provided to transfer these types of activities to our students. To begin, sign up on Eduphoria for “Summer Book Club” commencing on June 4. There is not an actual meeting that day, but signing up is the first step in receiving credit. Questions? Contact Lisa Rowlette at (817) 399-2067 or ElizabethRowlette@hebisd.edu
