comprehension quizzes aren’t necessarily helpful -- they don’t allow for discussions on ideas/themes, especially if you're confused -- quizzes will inappropriately gauge what someone actually knows. most of the time, the themes and greater messages are more important]]> 2018-09-20 19:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124150 https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124348 Things that were useful:
- book clubs
- watching the movie and comparing it to the book
- acting out
- graphic organizers and webs
- doing art based on the literature.
Things we didn't like:
- when the teacher would just talk about their opinions
- close reading. 
- Controlled essays ]]> 2018-09-20 19:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124348 https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124590 Positives: only come with relatable content
- movies help bring books to life
- can compare and contrast movie/book
- engage students through relatable content
Negatives: all shakespeare ever 
- why hang onto old literature that is so off putting to todays children that they don't even read it? shmoop that]]> 2018-09-20 19:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124590 https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124766 One positive experience was writing alternative endings to a novel (it was for  The Giver).  Students shared work.

Activating prior knowledge for The Crucible. Teacher directed a class of 11th grade boys to write everything they could about the word "witch." This encouraged discussion that connected to the play.

Fishbowl discussions of books; come prepared to class with questions.

. Reading novels, such as Shakespeare, were easier to comprehend when it was read aloud as a class and movies were shown on it
. Working in groups helps with reading comprehension and talking through parts that people were stuck on]]> 2018-09-20 19:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jeflynn/403/wish/284124864
