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. |

Debbie-- This is a quick read -- only 140 pages -- and focuses only on reading workshop and helping students find "the zone." She's refined some of her procedures (e.g. classroom library checkout) and restructured the reader's notebook responses to give students less "busywork" with books, as she calls it, and more time "in the zone." The new system, she says, also allows her to better handle the paperload. She talks about the value of booktalking and one-to-one conferences and comments, too, on the shift from middle school to high school practices in the English classroom. ~Cathy In a message dated 7/6/2007 8:46:25 AM Eastern Daylight Time, debracparker@sbcglobal.net writes: I have not read _The Reading Zone_. how is this book of Atwell's different from _In the Middle_??? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
