Session Resource Page for:
Engage & Inspire with Reading Treks
February 9, 2021 ♦ 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET US
Session Description: TeachersFirst Reading Treks are built using Google Maps to chronicle the journey that a story character takes over the course of a book. Each stop along the way adds to student comprehension as they explore the information, visuals, and videos embedded in the map. Give your students context for the stories that they are reading by using Reading Treks in your lessons. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
As a result of this session teachers will:
Understand how to use Reading Treks in the classroom;
Learn how Reading Treks are created; and
Plan a new Reading Trek you will create for your instructional setting.
