    Our Space is a set of curricular materials designed to encourage high school students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their participation in new media environments. Through role-playing activities and reflective exercises, students are asked to consider the ethical responsibilities of other people, and whether and how they behave ethically themselves online. These issues are raised in relation to five core themes that are highly relevant online: identity, privacy, authorship and ownership, credibility, and participation. For more information, download the Introduction to Our Space, FAQ, and Road Map. All curricular units and lessons are free and available for download below. The full casebook can be downloaded using the link at the bottom of the page.

    The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Literacy Builders: Weighing the Options: Alternatives to Round Robin Reading - 0 views

literacy options alternatives

  • One option teachers have is to read the text aloud. The benefits of reading aloud to children are well documented. Unlike round robin reading which has many strikes against it, reading aloud has many benefits, including:  It models what expert reading sounds like. It helps kids know and love many different authors. It exposes children to many genres. It actively engages children in thinking and meaning making while enjoying the piece being shared. It conditions the brain to associate reading with pleasure. It creates background knowledge. It builds vocabulary.
  • If the issue remains that we want our students to do the reading, then why not have them read it silently? Teachers often worry that student won’t actually read or might not understand what they read. If that’s the case, we’ve got to consider the underlying issues. Are they not reading because they don’t have the stamina they need to get through the text? Are they not reading because the text is too hard? It is only through honest reflection that we are able to answer these questions and in answering them, we inevitably find our way to better alternatives to round robin reading.
  • Research on round robin reading tells us: It slows down reading rates. It lowers the quantity of reading students do. (Research estimates that students actually read between two to six minutes in a typical round robin reading session. Any way you slice it, it’s not much.) It is ineffectual at improving reading comprehension. When reading aloud, pronunciation is emphasized over meaning. In turn, text is often read slowly and disfluently which interferes with meaning making. It is detrimental to fluency because children are often asked to read texts that are too difficult which leads to choppy models of what reading sounds like. It highlights the displeasures of reading leaving children feeling disinclined to pick up books and read on their own.
