Students are hooked on Bailey Fish Adventure series with realistic, engaging fictional characters and family situations (single parents, adoption, foster care, homelessness) while caught up in adventures and mysteries often involving American history. Session deals with using hands-on materials (molas, shells, rubber chickens) to add to fun and educational experience. Writing skills reinforced. Door prizes.
"Masculinity in Multi-cultural Young Adult Literature", Rhonda Brock-Servais & Jonathan Page. Audience: Middle/Jr. High, High School

We plan to examine cross-cultural texts (African American, Native American, Hispanic, and Asian American) to reveal how constructions of masculinity affect agency and voice, received notions of masculinity, authentic constructions of masculinity and the influence of culture on masculinity. Further, this can be used to sharpen students’ critical interpretations skills and foster and greater appreciation of young adult literature.

Using multiple senses and collaboration in your classroom can bring life to literacy for your students. Step out of your comfort zone and be a part of a hands-on workshop offering creative ideas to increase engagement, comprehension, and teamwork. We will collectively explore ways to retell stories through rhythm.
