Workshopping the Canon for Democracy and Justice Mary E. Styslinger


Workshopping the Canon for Democracy and Justice adopts and adapts foundational reading and writing workshop structures to help middle and secondary teachers more effectively teach democratic concepts and justice in their English language arts classrooms. Through workshopping, teachers can foster democratic dispositions and skills in students as


they explore justice-oriented units focused on core canonical texts, and disrupt and displace the canon by teaching thematically related contemporary texts. Filled with teacher voices, useful models, and helpful ideas, this practical book is written to foster agency for change in teachers, their students, and society.

Workshopping the Canon Mary E. Styslinger


“Workshopping the Canon has made me have so many ‘Aha Moments.’ If you are an ELAR teacher, you should read this!”


—Shawna Easton, 8th-Grade ELAR teacher, Rogers Middle School, Prosper, TX


Styslinger demonstrates how to partner classic texts with a variety of high-interest genres within a reading and writing workshop structure, aligning the


teaching of literature with what we have come to recognize as best practices in the teaching of literacy. Guided by a multitude of teacher voices, student examples, and useful ideas, workshopping teachers explore a unit focus and its essential questions through a variety of reading workshop structures, including read-alouds, independent reading, shared reading, close reading, response engagements, Socratic circles, book clubs, and mini-lessons, as well as writing workshop structures comprising mentor texts, writing plans, mini-lessons, independent writing, conferences, writing circles, and publishing.

Practical Strategies That Boost Students' Achievement and Passion for Reading Laura Robb


By fourth or fifth grade, many striving readers have lost their self-confidence and the belief that, with hard work, they can reach a goal. Whether these students were on a computer reading program, in a grade-level basal program, or listening to a required novel, they weren’t reading. Yet, we know that engaging books help students to develop their


reading skill and expertise. Voluminous reading is an intervention. This book suggests practical ways to organize instruction so students in ELA classes and across the curriculum read voluminously every day.
