We have worked together to develop customized teaching materials, incorporate student-centered activities, and foster a more communicative classroom environment.Sessions
School Page-Turner Practices: Practical, Captivating Approaches to Engage Readers more
Fri, Sep 5, 17:30-18:50 Asia/Tokyo
We will show how Xreading and reading clubs have benefited students and how diversifying activities lead to student engagement and material retention. We will then break out into four small groups, each led by a co-presenter, to share activities involving different life skills and subjects. Attendees will rotate through each fifteen-minute station. In one group, participants work together to answer trivia questions to solve a letter cipher and decode story titles. They will then match the titles and characters descriptions to the correct stories. In another group, participants will read a short story and then the reading will disappear. Exercising their reading comprehension and imagination, the participants will recall and draw a specific character from the reading. Afterwards, presenters and participants will discuss the workshop activities; how they can be implemented in different classrooms and with different leveled students.
