High School English – Facing Reluctant Readers & Writers

Workshop Number: 49

Presenter:
Stephanie Wallace, TF Alumna

Description:
There are always going to be the students in your classroom that hate reading, and they hate writing. I was lost my first year on how to reach them. I have found the answer! Participants will have the opportunity to share their fears and concerns. I will demonstrate how to make your class fun, interesting, and a learning environment all at the same time. Participants will learn how to make grammar easy, reading fun, vocabulary interesting, and writing a favorite.

Recommended for High School English teachers. This workshop will make End of Course Tests and the Writing Test less scary! Not all lecture…materials you can take with you!
