Close Reading in the High School ELA Classroom

This session focuses on using technology to strengthen students reading comprehension skills. Teachers will create interactive lessons that will model in-depth reading of complex texts, as well as the process of gathering textual evidence to support written responses. Through the use of technologies, such as SMART response, SMART notebook, Popplet and eBook readers, students will actively read complex text, gather evidence from the text and respond in detail. This session will focus on Text Dependent Analysis using examples for the MS and HS ELA classroom.
