Looking Forward to the NCTE Convention
NCTE's Annual Convention is almost a month away! Take some time now to explore these resources, which relate to just some of the speakers who will be featured in Pittsburgh. They're handy strategies you can use in the classroom even if you can't join us for the sessions.
Read "Studying African
Folktales in the
Primary Grades" (E) from School Talk to explore ways to use books by the Books for Children Luncheon speakers Leo and Diane Dillon.
If you're interested in the Middle Section Luncheon Speaker Kate DiCamillo, try the ReadWriteThink lesson
Characters in Because of Winn-Dixie: Making Lists of Ten (E-M), which focuses on a character analysis project that can be used with any reading.
Read "Poetry in the Classroom:
The Fervor and the Fret" from English Journal, and examine poems by U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser, who will present at the Secondary Section Luncheon.
The College Celebration features Victor Villanueva, author of the NCTE publication Bootstraps (G). Read Chapter V, Inglés in the Colleges (S), from Villanueva's text to explore issues of literacy and personal experience.
Finally, be sure to register this week if you'll be joining us in Pittsburgh! The early registration deadline for the Convention is October 24, 2005.
