My new writing classnewsela.com/ is very very low. In some cases, perhaps lower than my pre level class. I want to develop reading skills as a way to help them with writing. To do this, I have decided for the 5 week summer session to just focus on one topic, Global Warming. My hope is that by reading different articles with different point of views, students will see vocabulary recycled over and over and increase their reading and critical thinking abilities. This I hope will transfer over to their writing as well. We shall see if this works and if I can keep their interest on one topic for 5 weeks. I want to add that I am planning on doing this by finding texts on NEWSELA (https://newsela.com/) lowest reading level.
