Abstract | It's a common dilemma in many classrooms: Give your students an inch and they often take a mile. As teachers, they've probably all been in the situation where they want to encourage student participation and find a way to engage students in a particular text or topic, yet they err on the side of caution to keep the imagined mayhem at bay. Because the author tends to be directive, she speaks from firsthand experience about her fears of "letting go" with her fifth graders. She was afraid that they would not be willing to assume the responsibility that goes along with independent work and worried that socializing would take precedence over productive, on-topic conversations between students. What she has been thrilled to find this year is that giving her students the stage and allowing them to explore text through small student-led group discussions has empowered them, engaged them, encouraged them, and, in the process, inspired them all. In this article, the author describes six key reading strategies for engaging adolescents in productive discussions about literary texts. (Contains 1 figure.) (ERIC). |
