Day 1: What’s the Big Idea: Helping Adolescent Readers Determine Importance in their Reading

Purpose determines what’s important. It also helps us sift and sort what we pay attention to. Without a purpose for one’s reading and teaching, it is difficult to determine importance. During this workshop, teachers will explore the big ideas behind their content and curricula. Cris will model different ways that teachers can help students determine importance in their reading. Participants will be asked to reflect on their processes as readers in order to help students figure out what matters most.
