Teaching Important Issues in HOOT Using BrainPoP as a Resource
If you want to introduce a concept one of the best resources for a basic overview regarding relevant information for young adults comes from my good friends, Tim and Moby, over at BrainPop. I have enlisted their help to teach many a novel. Most recently I called on their services to tackle some "sciencey" issues like Extinction, Everglades, and Ecosystems. I readily admit science is not my thing although I wish it were my thing.
I love their quiz questions, which I use for classwork or homework assessments. The types of questions used provide a great way for me to model how to approach comprehension questions related to context clues, fact vs. opinion, and inferences, just to name a few.
How do you make a novel you are teaching come alive? Let us know here at The Things You Can Read.
Happy Reading & Writing☮
