262: Three Fresh Strategies That Get Students Engaged With Texts

If your teaching requires students to read or work with texts, and things have gotten a little stale in the engagement department, this episode will give you some great new strategies to try. High school English teachers Susan Barber and Brian Sztabnik once felt the same way, so they curated tons of fun, interactive, interesting text-based activities in their new book, 100% Engagement: 33 Lessons to Promote Participation, Beat Boredom, and Deepen Learning in the ELA Classroom . In this episode, they'll share three of their favorites. ______________________________________________________________ Thanks to Solution Tree and Listenwise for sponsoring the episode.
