Book Club #1PD Session-Initial Reflection by Tad Hamilton https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex Whether you teach middle school or high school ELA, what is the majority or overall attitude of your students when it comes to reading? What comments/complaints do they make about reading? en-us 2022-03-12 14:27:49 UTC 2022-03-15 22:24:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Students are hesitant to read and say that it is boring! scox491 https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096841740 2022-03-15 22:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096841740 https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842509 The book/reading is too long.]]> 2022-03-15 22:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842509 I teach 10th grade English (one section is mixed with ESL kids, too). The general attitude of my students when it comes to reading is reluctant because of a mix of not wanting to read and becoming overwhelmed when reading a challenging text. anbanks1 https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842658 2022-03-15 22:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842658 It's different for different students. I've found that many of my students don't like to read on their own, but they are okay with reading as a class (as long as they are interested in the text). cheyennepennell https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842691 2022-03-15 22:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842691 Erika https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842711 Common attitude of my CP (standard-level) classes is apprehensive towards reading. A common comment is that they "won't read" unless we do so as a whole group. My AP classes/honors classes are more willing to read (or at least pretend to read). They complain that texts are too long. ]]> 2022-03-15 22:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842711 My students tend to say they hate reading, but they get really into it when I let them read to me 1:1. I pull students for 5 minutes each during independent reading and that has helped. averling1 https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842913 2022-03-15 22:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842913 https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842928 Sometimes students are unmotivated at times. ]]> 2022-03-15 22:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096842928 They can watch the movie instead! - Kayla https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096844108 2022-03-15 22:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/thamil34/auh50ec4eh3cdrex/wish/2096844108
