Welcome to our place to think about the ways we have processed the nature of reading and the types of texts we use in our secondary English classrooms! I hope you use this space as a resource for your future English classes and that you continue to add to its pages. The following content is included here: 1. __A Project Inquiries:__ Students explored further topics that come from the teaching of reading and literature to adolescents. They are arranged by the title "A" Project and the topic. 2. __B Project:__ You all created thematic projects that would appeal to teens and which have the following components: five YA texts, a classic text, a nontraditional text, a banned book, and classroom activities that accompany it. These are arranged by the title of the topic. 3. __ Lesson Plans: __We read the following books together in our class (in order of their reading): //Enrique's Journey, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part time Indian, and The Good Earth.// You have collaborated on UbD-style lesson plans which are included here listed by the title of the book. 4. __Portfolios:__ Lastly, you have included your final portfolio on this wiki. These are listed by your name. This semester has been a wonderful journey into texts and reading which I hope carries with you into the future. Please let me know how YOU bring texts and reading to life for YOUR students! All the best! Tim (aka Dr. Shea) || = =
