Overview

Talking, Writing, and Thinking About Books shows teachers how to engage students in reading, responding to what they read, and improving reading comprehension. It features 101 ready-to-copy, single-page activities that involve students in all aspects of the reading process. The activities encompass the complete range of the language arts; students use writing, talk, drama, visual arts and other media to express their thoughts and ideas. The full array of text components--character, setting, plot, personal response, language, and words--are also covered. An ideal complement to any literature study, the activities are organized around the major components of language arts:Oral Language--talking about character, plot, language, and words;Drama--bringing character and plot to life;Visual Arts--creating art based on literary character, setting, and plot;Writing--formal and informal expression of character, events, setting, plot, language, and words; andResearch--investigating details about author, setting, and genre.The activities in Talking, Writing, and Thinking About Books are flexible enough to use with individuals, partners, and small groups, and in conjunction with a wide variety of texts from novels to newspapers. In addition, the busy teacher will find time-saving assessment forms (for teacher and student) invaluable. Simple tools give the teacher a quick record of student work habits and quality of work. A companion checklist for students helps them reflect on their work, follow directions, and complete tasks.
