Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I've appreciated the responses and ideas which have been thrown out here. I don't have anything new to add, really. Mainly, I address this in small ways -- by modeling, praising students when they read with expression, and incorporating professional audio recordings when possible. My students practice through their monthly poetry recitations and book talks -- both of which have delivery components in the rubrics. I also avoid "cold readings."

We haven't had kids reading aloud because we don't want their feelings hurt, but today while reading a play, the kids needed help! Thanks for your suggestions.
