by Teachers.Net Gazette

Feb 7, 2013

By employing the strategies described below, reading will become something that students do willingly, even eagerly, and the adults in their lives will not have to resort to trickery, bribery, manipulation, or any other tactic that will, at best, lead to temporary compliance.

How to share research papers

by Anita

Feb 23, 2013

My students are wrapping up their 8th grade research papers, They have interesting topics and have spent a lot of time researching and their papers are due on March 5. Does anyone have ideas of how the students could share the knowledge that they learned with the class. I don't want them to just read the research papers.

Thanks!
