"Global collaboration is necessary to show students that they are part of something bigger than them. That the world needs to be protected and that we need to care for all people. You can show them pictures of kids in other countries but why not have them speak to each other? Then the caring can begin." Sounds awesome! Delete the scoop?

Parents and teachers often overlook a major weapon in the literacy arsenal: comic books. “Comic books have had a motivating power in literacy development for children, especially young boys, since their introduction in the 1930s. This nontraditional type of literature — often dismissed by educators as superficial and shallow — is highly visual, contains complex literary elements, and lends itself to critical examination of moral, ethical, and social issues.” Good reading motivator.

Many educators have inferred that the common core bans the practice of providing students with context and content before they read text. "Employing both cold-reading and prereading strategies is necessary to good literacy instruction" "teachers have been using a technique they call "embedded nonfiction," which they find effective, he said. When reading a novel, they assign four or five nonfiction texts on a related topic." I definitely agree that prereading is still important, but there are many other strategies to be used and time could be better spent. It depends on each case. Delete the scoop?
