As keynote speakers at the
teacher in-service day, Kylene Beers and Bob Probst presented many
student-centered ideas regarding reading instruction. Two of those ideas, student-generated
discussion questions and student-generated vocabulary, resonated strongly
within the context of my own practice. As a result, students have been taught how to create thoughtful discussion questions as they read. These questions can range from looking at big
ideas to concepts that they are struggling to understand. At the same time, students are indicating
the terms from each chapter that they find the most challenging. This week we used Lino, an online bulletin board to group terms together. The most heavily populated groups indicated words that we would study as a group.
