Goal: To convey and promote a love of reading and writing by showing students that these activities can have interest and meaning for themselves.
Students enjoy and get more out of activities when these include opportunities for students to exercise creativity and choice.
Learning involves deep thinking about issues essential to the human experience. As a part of this, students’ own experiences are brought into consideration alongside the text in order to make meaning from it.
Students and teacher work together, and learning is presented as a shared effort. This also entails that the class is a community of readers and writers.
