Funded Dec 31, 2019The scholastic new was enjoyed by my students for various reasons. They love to read aloud to their peers. I had one student lead the class each morning that we started with the magazine and he did really well. We would alternate at different times which the students also loved!
The articles were subjects they could relate to which then led to interesting discussions. We would also hold debates on some of the articles so the students could voice their opinions and learn the art of debate respectfully. It was a lot of fun to watch and listen to.
Another way in which they enriched our classroom is we would take some of the articles and go looking for more information which encouraged the students to do research on their chrome books to then discuss with the rest of the class.
Lastly, these moments would then require them to stand in front of the class to present their findings which encourages public speaking which we all know can be difficult.”
