Reading Intervention

For our final project of the session, students read various Magic Tree House Book by Mary Pope Osborne.  As they read, they wrote a summary for each chapter.  They also recorded notes on the topic of their book.  For example, Afternoon on the Amazon is a fantasy book about a brother and sister who visit the Amazon.  On the adventure, they learn many facts about the Amazon.  After they completed their books, student groups worked together to teach the other book groups about their topic and about their book. The results were student-written plays, collage posters, and charts that presented the material creatively to their peers.
