Hello Everyone, I sure could use a couple ideas for my writing/reading class. I teach two sections of an 8th grade writing/reading class with emphasis on the writing. The class is students who struggled with English the first semester. They are a tough crowd to sell writing to. I would love ideas on interactive websites or theme based project that is engaging. We have done autobiographies and biographies (where they read on a person and did a poster timeline-they did like this). We just finished up heroes with the 60 minutes clip on the Sully the pilot that landed the plane in the Hudson. We did reflections and discussion plus an activity from Read Write Think to tie in. This definitely kept their attention. SO I guess I am asking for tried and true activities.
Thanks so much!
