Easy and Engaging Projects for your Reading Classroom
Sunday, June 26, 2022 ⬥ 3:00 – 3:45 PM ET US
Presented by Karen Streeter and Ruth Okoye
Session Description:
Create an environment that allows students to share important connections they have made between what they have read and their personal lives, other texts and the world around them. Join us to look at a few quick and easy lesson adaptations that gauge student comprehension using authentic assessments.
Purpose:
Attempting to “get back to normal”, many teachers are tempted to go back to the paper/pencil activities that served them for many years. We will use the SAMR model to share a way to shift reading projects allowing even tech-shy teachers to meet students where they are at.
There’s a reason why it is hard to let go of classic reading projects – they work. At the end of the day, we need to know that students can apply the techniques they have been taught. So join us for this session, and we’ll share some options for updated reading projects that engage students using technology and the SAMR model for technology integration. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to use the SAMR framework to shift traditional projects into updated technology integrated ones. We’ll also share several tools and templates that lend themselves to authentic assessment of reading comprehension.
