Post reading activities.

Almost 2 years ago, IGA implemented a series of readers for their ESL courses, and in my Skyline 2C course,  as a post reading project, my students prepared a roleplay of the book.
They had a lot of fun, made their own costumes and props.

Here are two videos for you to enjoy !!!

Post Reading Phase

Taken from the website: http://departments.weber.edu/teachall/reading/post.html
We retain information more easily if we use it. There are many activities that will refine, enrich, and heighten interest in the assigned topic; however, the primary goal of the post reading phase is to further develop and clarify interpretations of the text, and to help students remember what they have individually created in their minds from the text.

Four types of post reading activities will be described:

  • those that provide the chance for students to ask questions concerning their assignments
  • those that focus on text structure
  • those that involve classroom and peer review
  • extension activities which extend learning.
