The Reading Enrichment Unit continues...
Spent a majority of the day locating and tracking down students for the video booktalk reading enrichment unit. I set up a few before school meetings after having to practically beg students to agree to do a booktalk! These kids are busy! I feel bad that they are so busy that they don't even have time to read or write a short paragraph for a booktalk. I am hoping and praying these students meet with me before school on Thursday and Friday. I need to have all the booktalks video-taped and edited by mid next week. I believe this entire unit is much more difficult than anticipated. The reason for the difficulty stems from my not being immersed in the school on a constant/daily basis; therefore, I am not able to see all the students. I was able to videotape one student's booktalk on The Ruins of Gorlan - this student just happened to be my son!
