Check for Understanding
Overview:
This lesson’s Check for Understanding involves the use of a collaborative wiki to share and develop your ideas with your affinity group.
Prompt:
With your affinity group, create a graphic web page in your wiki space that identifies briefly several key classroom activities that you believe can support engagement in reading. Consider how to transform traditional activities with reading in ways that will better develop the habits of independent life-long reading.
Directions
