Description:

For today’s digital minds, photographs are the perfect place to begin teaching personal opinions. Discover how photographs can be used as a spring board to help students form judgments, select text support, and add personal experience.





Workshop Info:

In this workshop, you will learn how I utilize photographs to teach specific reading skills, such as making judgments, making inferences, and drawing conclusions. Photographs are used at the beginning of the lessons to not only engage students, but to also teach the process of these harder reading skills. The purpose is to demonstrate and practice these skills without text and then move the students into incorporating these skills into their reading. There is also a particular emphasis on providing text support and relating the text to personal experiences.
