Easy and Engaging Projects for Your Reading Classroom

May 11, 2021 ♦ 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET

Moderators: Ruth Okoye, Gretchen Sting and Melissa Henning

Session Description: Tired of giving students the same language arts assignments? Want to switch things up? Join us to look at a few quick and easy ways to refresh your lessons and gauge student comprehension using authentic assessments. Learn to use technology to 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. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

  1. Learn authentic ways to assess reading comprehension;

  2. Explore tools for quick and easy in-class reading projects; and

  3. Create a project sample for use in your instructional setting.
