The Fish Bowl: A Cooperative Learning Strategy {Post 5 of 5} • Teacher Thrive Share on Facebook0 shares on Facebook Well this wraps up my 5-part series on some of my favorite cooperative learning activities I have used over the years. If you missed the first 4, you can find them here: “Expert Groups,” “Q and A Match-Up,” “Four Corners,”and “Circle Chats.” How It Works: Divide your class in half. Why I Love It: Eases Discussion Management: Since only half the class is discussing at a time, this makes it much easier to manage than a whole-class discussion. Alright!

You can also read stories by all the 2007 finalists, by the two young writers who were selected this year for special mention and by previous winners.

Free eBooks at Planet eBook - Classic Novels and Literature Lamb to the Slaughter--Roald Dahl (1916-1990) Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl (1916-1990) Approximate Word Count: 3899 The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight-hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come home from work. Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come. "Hullo darling," she said. "Hullo darling," he answered. She took his coat and hung it in the closet. For her, this was always a blissful time of day. "Tired darling?" "Yes," he said. "I'll get it!" "Sit down," he said. When he came back, she noticed that the new drink was dark amber with the quantity of whiskey in it. "Darling, shall I get your slippers?" "No." She watched him as he began to sip the dark yellow drink, and she could see little oily swirls in the liquid because it was so strong. "Darling," she said. "No," he said. "I don't want it," he said. "Oh."
Classic short stories - 100% FREE Opinion | How to Get Your Mind to Read In one experiment, third graders — some identified by a reading test as good readers, some as poor — were asked to read a passage about soccer. The poor readers who knew a lot about soccer were three times as likely to make accurate inferences about the passage as the good readers who didn’t know much about the game. That implies that students who score well on reading tests are those with broad knowledge; they usually know at least a little about the topics of the passages on the test. One experiment tested 11th graders’ general knowledge with questions from science (“pneumonia affects which part of the body?”), history (“which American president resigned because of the Watergate scandal?”), as well as the arts, civics, geography, athletics and literature. Current education practices show that reading comprehension is misunderstood. First, it points to decreasing the time spent on literacy instruction in early grades.
