A wiki suggesting alternative ways to respond to texts has been developed by Preston Girls’ Secondary College.
The idea behind the wiki is to show both students and teachers creative ways to respond to texts. The wiki includes examples of how students have responded via tools such as:
A big thank you to @thenerdyteacher Nick Provenzano for sharing his students’ Prezis on The Great Gatsby. You can view more student responses (including YouTube clips) on his excellent blog.
Hopefully students will be excited to show teachers and parents their understanding of texts through creating and publishing presentations. Schools could use the presentations on their websites and/or parent information night.

There are some wonderful ideas presented in this Reading wiki….great for books groups in schools and a wondeful way for kids to get involved….down the track I will try it!
