Hey Michelle, your story made me laugh too. Thanks for sharing the book title, I actually have heard of it and was interested in reading it, and then just completely forgot the title. :)
This book is a wonderful! The students become very independent and teachers are able to work with guided reading groups or individual conferences. It amazing what students can be trained to do with...
The articles can be anything related to reading and instruction/education. They do not have to be related to your group project at all. You may, however, want to look for articles related to your r...

Hi Michelle!!! Yes, everything you mentioned for Question 2 is what we also have our students focus on. How is the text portraying the article? How is dialouge used between characters, etc. I comp...

A thorough analysis of a fascinating article! I think when the authors were referring to "minutiae of students' rituals" it was more to help the reader understand the students wrote in their readin...
Lots of free online resources for readers theater, too!

I own this book in my collection too Scott. I love the works of Richard Lavoie. The special education field is a rewarding one, and with more insight we teachers can help students with a variety ...
I appreciate how you demonstrated that this article made you think about your own classroom, and changes you want to make.
This sounds like an interesting read. I have a couple of journal articles you might like. I have always been interested in this subject, because part of my own journey toward literacy has been ba...
