TOPIC OVERVIEW:

Motivating Students to Dig Deep:

In our quest to dig deep, we....

struck a boulder (a.k.a. this book)

that broke our shovels,

and  sent us in a new direction (a.k.a. applicable books and strategies).

Don't Worry!  Our question stayed the same: 

How do we motivate students to construct meaning at a higher level?

Because we are highly motivated MWP teachers, we found our own sources.

What has Lisa been doing to motivate students?

What has Anne been doing to motivate students?

What has Steph been doing to motivate students?

We chose to read More (Advanced) Lessons in Comprehension by Frank Serafini and Suzette Youngs.
