Everybody MUST read this! An outstanding call to action from a high school student

Speech by Linda Darling Hammond to TC grads. Good philosophical stuff about teaching to hold on to, think about, talk about, and act on.

Some thoughts and resources for launching the reading workshop in september

Kim- I read an interview (can't find it again) but I really liked the question, "When you return to a book, how do you remember what you are reading about?" or something like that. I used it last year and found it enlightening. Some kids said they reread the last page. Some said they use a post and write their last thought. One said he took speech and learned how to just remember better.
