Reader's Workshop (New)
In Reader’s Workshop, we will read, explore and discuss literature, short stories, news articles, and other texts together.
This weekly 1.5 workshop will provide you with a chance to:
- Read independently and as a group
- Improve reading comprehension skills
- Expand awareness of a range of genres representing different periods and cultures
- Build your literacy and background knowledge
- Extend your vocabulary
- Foster critical thinking
- Engage in meaningful discussion to improve English fluency
Activities will include pre-reading discussion questions, vocabulary exploring, and background knowledge input, followed by time to read and post-reading comprehension check and discussion.
We hope to increase your enjoyment of reading and discussions!
Short stories will include classic and modern works from American or European authors (i.e.: Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, Shirley Jackson)
News articles are sourced from BBC News, The Guardian, TIME magazine, The Washington Post, and more.
