Who says students always have to
use textbooks to learn about or identify a new skill? During Reader’s Workshop, students learned how to identify theme using
Pixar animated short films and submitted their responses using a Google Form.
As soon as students got to
work, the classroom began buzzing with student engagement and accountable talk.
While working with his partner, one students said, “This is the best assignment
ever!” Students were required to support their answers with evidence from the
films.
Giving students hands on
opportunities allows them to take ownership of their learning.
