Conduct an online scavenger hunt. To teach students how to understand digital texts, teachers must also be adept consumers of the Internet. Answer the questions below:
Search for the name of one young adult author that you could share with your students. Share the grade level(s) for whom the author primarily writes, the subject matter about which the author writes, the author’s name, and website.
Search for the name of one prominent scholar or teacher with expertise in secondary reading instruction. Share the individual’s name, the individual’s website, and two interesting facts you learned about his or her teaching / work. Hint: look at the references cited in your textbooks for ideas.
