“You Complete Me” - Writing’s Critical Role in Meaningful Reading Experiences Are your students’ classroom reading experiences passionate and engaged or stuck in a rut? Years from now, will your students be able to fondly reflect on what they learned from the books you exposed them to? Or will they have divorced themselves from what happened in your classroom? For presenter Jay Richards, writing about what we read develops intellectual intimacy. Learn about the reading/writing marriage and see examples of writing assignments from throughout the school year from novels, short stories, and poems that reflect kids’ positive experiences with the texts they read. (4-7) Jay Richards, Central Middle School, San Carlos SD
