| Title | Reading Activities |
| Body | An AATG listserv user recently posted this list of reading activities that are useful for any language classroom: - have the students illustrate different scenes - have the students write one character's name/initial on a small piece of paper, the teacher reads quotes, descriptions, or acts of the characters and the students must lift up which name it belongs to - have the students write poems about one of the characters. I usually let the students pick which type of poem; name poems and Elfchen are usually popular. - have the students act out a scene without talking - have the students come up with a title for each of the chapters if they don't already have names -have the students write 3-5 questions for the chapter - copy pictures from the story and the students have to describe what is happening or pick quotes from the story that fit -a timeline, either on cut up small paper or write it on construction paper and the students have to stand in order - I write the characters names' on a piece of butcher block paper and the students have to write whatever they can and switch groups around the room and add to other posters after a certain period of time -a mad libs activity- take out some of the words and have the students fill in the blanks with the correct parts of speech- don't let them see the story first An activity that will take about a whole period is making character posters. Each student choses a character and has to write 4 sentences, 4 quotes, 3 adjectives about that character. There must be one picture of the character and 2 pictures of something associated with the character. Have the students present their poster during the next class. There are also some good ideas on http://www.eslcafe.com/ideas Carey, C. Re: [AATG-L] Looking for new reading activities.
