I am working with graded readers, short stories and novels with my classes.
I was also preparing my talk for TESOL France and looking for some new ideas to share, I designed the following lesson inspired from Chaz Pugliese’s Gossip activity from the book Being Creative. The activity may not sound similar but while reading it, I just thought this will be a fun activity. I’m planning to do it this week with my 12th graders. Level: B2 and above Put students in 3s As and Bs will speak Cs will eavesdrop and take notes while As and Bs are talking. A and B are characters from the novel/short story you’re reading in the class.
Tell them they are going to gossip about another character from the story. For example: Squealer and Napoleon gossip about Boxer (Animal Farm) Cs are either a passerby, a student from your class or a 4th character from the story. Variation: If the students will not be able to improvise, you can put them in 3s and give some time to write the dialogue. LitWorks - Reading Networks.

Lit Foldables. Looking for supportive approaches for your kinesthetic students?
Need a hand's on approach for your written projects? WELCOME! GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS "FOLDABLES" My #1 read article of-all-time, is this post from the time I presented at the TN- IRA conference! It turns out that teachers are crazy-WILD about foldables!! Guess where I just presented? This time I gave workshops for the state of Illinois -- IRC.
GUESS WHAT I FOUND?? I went prowling the exhibit hall in search of the Dinah Zike booth.This woman is obviously the QUEEN of da foldables. I just know all of these images are going to re-charge your battery. LUV me some Onomatopoeia!!!!! These next two remind me of little foldables we used to make when I was in elementary. They had flaps that you lifted. We called them fortune tellers and Cootie-catchers. Now taken from the playground to the classroom!! I'd be grateful if you'd 'pin' your favorite idea. I think Dinah would be grateful for the traffic we'll send her as well. <a HREF=" Widgets</A> Gulliver's Travels and Other Writings by Jonathan Swift (1984) - Small Demons.
