Deeper+Reading

Great first meeting of the PD Book Club! Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm for the book. I was not sure how conversation would flow, but I think we got off to a great start.

-The next meeting will be on Friday, March 16th in the library. Please read through chapter 6 for that meeting. -The third meeting will be on Wednesday, April 4th and we'll finish the book for this meeting. -The last scheduled meeting for this book will be on April 25th. We'll share our close reading/deeper reading lessons that we've created at this meeting and plan our sharing for our staff meeting.

 * Questions/Thoughts from our first meeting....please feel free to add your thoughts/comments under each, or add your own question based on our first meetings' discussion.**

**Frontloading vs. overloading...**

**How do we get students to read the text (especially in content areas) and not just read to seek out answers to questions at the end of the chapter?**

**Is background information __essential__ to being an informed consumer of information?**

**Is it possible to give students all the background they’ll ever need, or is giving them the essential questions the best we can do?**

**What to do with the kids that are done with their short silent reading?**

**Questions/Thoughts/Quotes for next time:**
