Hi Everyone!
Thanks for joining in on our first online discussion of a professional publication. To get us started, I've chosen the first book, Notice & Note: Strategies for Close Reading by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst, but in the future I hope others will suggest titles we can explore together. This time, I'm also going to suggest a reading schedule to keep us generally concurrent in our reading and on schedule to finish the book by the time we meet face to face. We'll see how it goes. Please let us all know if this seems feasible for you:
Monday, March 18: Introduction + Part I, Chapters 1-5
Monday, March 25: Part I, Chapters 5-10
Monday, April 8: Part II, Chapters 1-8
Monday, April 25: Part III, Chapters 1-6 + Conclusion
Possible dates for a face-to-face meeting (location to TBD): May 1, 6, or 13
I will make new posts on dates listed above that focus on chapters indicated. You'll notice that the book includes some handy discussion questions at the end of each chapter which we can use to spark our discussions.
So, let's try it! Happy reading. Look for a post on the first section on March 18.
Betsy
