Towards the end of the year a few of my coworkers as well as the most amazing co-teacher in the world decided to start a professional book club. As the year wound down we realized that all of us are most likely going to be in different schools and even different states next year so we decided to bring the book club to the blog. If you want to see the original post click here. To kick off our book club we read Falling in Love With Close Reading: Lessons for Analyzing Texts and life by Christopher Lehman and Kate Roberts. The book is completely dedicated to ways you can effectively teach close reading to help build a deeper meaning of fiction and nonfiction texts our students encounter.
You can purchase it on amazon.com
We have decided to take a question a day to tackle on the book. The questions are:
Monday: Overall thoughts on the book Would you recommend? Why?
Tuesday: Favorite passage/quote
Wednesday: Didn’t care for didn’t understand
Thursday: How can you apply this to your every day
practice next year?
Friday: Final Thoughts
Be sure to check back each day as we all share our reposes to the different questions!
Best,
