J.39 Teaching with “Units of Study”: A New Look at Addressing Challenges and Creating Equitable Classrooms
E M ROOM: C-151 (GCCC, MAIN LEVEL)

J.42 The Role of Relevance in Creating Skilled and Passionate Readers
M ROOM: KOJO KAMAU JUNIOR BALLROOM C (HILTON 402, LEVEL 4)
How do we help our students who struggle with reading become independent, skilled, and passionate readers? The answer lies, in part, with making learning relevant. But how do we create relevant lessons when classrooms are filled with diverse learners who have diverse needs and passions? We’ll share strategies we’ve found that encourage relevance while building skills.

J.43 What Our Tutors Know: The Advantages of Small Campus Tutoring Centers
C ROOM: A-124/125 (GCCC, MAIN LEVEL)
As university budgets shrink, administrators may consider outsourcing tutoring services, especially on small campuses with limited resources. Yet, there are certain aspects of tutoring that are lost, such as the localized knowledge that tutors accumulate from being part of the campus. The presentation explores how this knowledge can be incorporated into initial and ongoing tutor training.
Presenters: Pam Lieske, Kent State University at Trumbull Mahli Mechenbier, Kent State University at Geauga
J.44 What’s Up, Doc? Using Humor to Start Serious Discussions
G TE ROOM: B-233–235 (GCCC, UPPER LEVEL)
It’s arguably true that humor has more power to entice kids to reading than any other genre. By extension, it’s also true that humor has a unique power to broach difficult topics through story. In this panel discussion, writers and educators will offer concrete ideas for writing and reading humor, as well as how to use humorous stories to broach nearly any topic in the classroom.
