This project involves students getting different real books which they will read at home, write about it then share what they learned with the whole class applying the technique they’ve learned in class. Each student will have the opportunity to share every day, becoming the teacher for 30 minutes, he/she will answer questions from other students. Students will learn and share with class from different topics. They will have the opportunity to apply their ELA knowledge and experience. They will actively participate and interact with all their classmates. I have heard my students sharing stories about books they have read. This will give them the chance to work on a similar project for the whole class.
