Module 6

Module 6:
Sherri McPherson (Fayette County Schools, Kentucky) offers a module in which students consider the question “What are the qualities of good reader and writer?” and argue for their answers after reading texts from Vladimir Nabokov, Stephen King, Francine Prose, and Sherman Alexie.

To create a good environment for students, the teacher uses Edmodo so the students have a good place to discuss and tell their ideas. The students read their reading texts and they share their idea about what the qualities of good writer are according to the texts they read. Then, they discuss their comments via Edmodo. While they have a good social learning network, they will learn lots of things about these writers. After they have a common idea about the writers, the teacher posts the other question: What is the qualities of good reader? Are they good readers and if yes, how they can prove it?

Then, the teacher wants them to create a short presentation with Photostory3 about what the qualities of good reader and writer are.

Goal:
-To enable students to learn with a different way
- To enable students to feel good while they are learning.

With this assesment, while the students will have a chance to use their creativity with Photostory3, they will have a chance also to use their information on the presentation. At the time, the students are preparing their short presentation, they will repeat what they learnt and the teacher will have a good way to assess the students.
