Welcome to my classroom: a tour of five strategies

I hope you enjoy this walkthrough of 5 student-centered practices I use in my literature classroom:

1. Collaborative literary analysis: "Sage and Scribe"

2. Cooperative searches for analytically rich evidence using the "M.E.

A.T.T.Y." strategy

3. Socratic/Paideia seminar: student-led discussion in the ELL classroom

4. Breakout peer writing tutoring during class

5. Oxfam Hunger Banquet: authentic summative assessment to our Finding Solutions to Hunger, Poverty and Inequality unit.
