My Project

Shared files, projects, and conferences, A new challenge arises in my classroom. Students need to keep up with the demands of new technology. This resource will be used for whole group instruction, breakout rooms, shared videos, virtual conferences, etc. The computer will be one that I will slowly be adding to my resources for students so that they can share and receive documents, type on a keyboard, organize files, read interactive stories, and have a high built-in security system to ensure their safety when navigating the web.

They will respond to literature prompts through writing, group discussions, debates, and Socratic Seminars.

The new vocabulary that they will develop through reading, writing, and discussions will teach them how to read critically and analyze different aspects of literature. They will be able to compare different genres for similar content.
