I must agree with the previous post in that I too feel a tad overwhelmed. I have a talent for biting of too big of a chunk from time to time, and here I am again. School + reading endorsement + teaching a college class + marathon training + 3 1/2 year old daughter = mush for brains. Luckily, I will be able to subtract two things from this equation in a week and a half and I'll feel half normal again.
As for the reading, I'm always excited to see anything that deals with older students. Chapter eight mentioned a few strategies that I already use pretty consistently in my own class as well as some new tricks that I would like to try. I especially like the I.N.S.E.R.T model. I teach students to use margin notes, but this model gives a clear and efficient way to mark text. It can be especially helpful in a choral reading where a student may not be able to stop and make extensive notes.
