Description
Thinking Outside the Book is an ideal course for educators looking for resources to guide students toward creating unique and complex assignments. You’ll learn to lead them to have a deeper response to quality literature, which will ultimately help their love and respect for reading.
In this one-hour course you will learn to incorporate a variety of media to differentiate responses and push your students toward thinking and creating outside the book.
Trainers Sheila Mulbry and Nicole Shannon share their personal best-practices on:
- Using mysteries in literature
- Developing puzzle fiction projects
- Creating personal response papers
- Identifying themes and vocabulary in literature
- Writing mini-research reports
And more!
