I am in the process of identifying 10 Course Questions for my sixth grde LA classs. The purpose is this- If I ask my students these questions at the end of the year or even next year, I would hope their responses would be a reflection that I taught them what was most important about life long reading. These should be macro level questions such as
How does reading strategically change you as a reader? I would LOVE to hear some questions that you think you might use. There are no right answers here, and the process of creating these questions really aligns your philosophy with curriculum, and I think sets you on the path of truly doing what you want to as a reading teacher. If you only have 1 question I would love to hear it. In that same vein I am working with content area teachers on concept work. We are trying to teach with the "less is more" idea by identifying concepts in our subject areas. We are STRUGGLING in LA because it appears to be difficult to identify concepts (we have plenty of skills, strategies, and processes) Do any of you have a few concepts you feel are critical to teaching Reading?
