Critical thinking and online reading need to go hand in hand—but
they often don’t. Students click, swipe, and believe because they
don’t know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that’s
a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you
model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that
lead to wisdom rather than reactivity. No matter what content you
teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative
reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how
teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how
various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author
background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a
piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources,
reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use
"Reader’s Rules of Notice" to learn to identify common rhetorical
devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit
social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than
widen our reading landscape We are still in the wild west era of
the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework
for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission:
teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will
forever have the tools to fight fake news.
This award-winning book continues to resonate with teachers and
inspire their teaching because it focuses on the joy of reading and
how it can engage and even transform readers. In a time of next
generation standards that emphasize higher-order strategies, text
complexity, and the reading of nonfiction, "You Gotta BE the Book"
continues to help teachers meet new challenges including those of
increasing cultural diversity. At the core of Wilhelm's
foundational text is an in-depth account of what highly motivated
adolescent readers actually do when they read, and how to help
struggling readers take on those same stances and strategies. His
work offers a robust model teachers can use to prepare students for
the demands of disciplinary understanding and for literacy in the
real world. The Third Edition includes new commentaries and tips
for using visual techniques, drama and action strategies,
think-aloud protocols, and symbolic story representation/reading
manipulatives. Book Features: A data-driven theory of literature
and literary reading as engagement. A case for undertaking teacher
research with students. An approach for using drama and visual art
to support readers' comprehension. Guidance for assisting students
in the use of higher-order strategies of reading (and writing) as
required by next generation standards like the Common Core.
Classroom interventions to help all students, especially reluctant
ones, become successful readers.
Leave instruction to the experts! Uncommon Core puts us on
high-alert about some outright dangerous misunderstandings looming
around so-called "standards-aligned" instruction, then shows us how
to steer past them-all in service of meeting the real intent of the
Common Core. It counters with teaching suggestions that are true to
the research and true to our students, including how: Reader-based
approaches can complement text-based ones Prereading activities can
help students meet the strategic and conceptual demands of texts
Strategy instruction can result in a careful and critical analysis
of text while providing transferable understandings Inquiry units
around essential questions can generate meaningful conversation and
higher-order thinking

This powerful book lays out an inspiring new vision for the
teaching of English, building on themes central to Wilhelm's
influential ""You Gotta BE The Book."" With this new work, Wilhelm
and Novak challenge business as usual in the language arts. They
call for nothing short of a revolution in our understanding of the
aims and methods of the English classroom, showing what English can
do for democratic life, inside and outside of classrooms. With
moving portraits of teachers and students, as well as practical
strategies and advice, they provide a roadmap to educational
transformation far beyond the field of English that will be of
interest to a wide audience of teachers, teacher educators,
curriculum developers, and educational leaders. Essential questions
explored by Teaching Literacy for Love and Wisdom: Why is what
English teachers do so often underestimated? How can we teach
literature in a way that fully taps into its transformative power?
How can we artfully teach all subjects, at all levels, for personal
wisdom, democratic community, and social and ecological justice?
This dynamic book explores a variety of ways teachers can integrate
service learning to enliven their classroom, meet the unique
developmental needs of their students, and satisfy the next
generation of standards and assessments. The authors demonstrate
how inquiry-based teaching with service learning outcomes
cultivates, requires, and rewards literacy, as well as important
skills like perspective taking and compassion. Through the pursuit
of service learning projects, students develop and apply literacy
and disciplinary knowledge, experience real-world implications, and
learn to think in more connected ways. At the same time, students
acquire literacies essential for creating a culture of civic
engagement and for mastering the Common Core.
This exciting new 6-12 literature series provides bridges and
connections across ideas, strong skill instruction, and amazing
literature.
