Hey English teacher type educhums!
Because I clearly have too much time on my hands and I’m avoiding my thesis, I’m creating a reading challenge grid for students that I potentially want to try out this year (pending on if my new HoD/school will let me).
It basically runs in two forms - team challenge and whole class. A snippet of the rules would be:
Students work in teams of 4-5 to claim as many squares as possible
Each square can only be claimed once by anyone in the class
A book can only be used for one square (no double dipping for squares)
Students can individually claim a maximum of five squares for their team. Any claimed after that are considered “whole class squares”
Students can only claim a maximum of two squares per category for their team (claiming whole class squares sit outside of this parameter)
A square claimed for the whole class cannot also be claimed for teams (gives an extra incentive to “block off” the competition)
Students can claim a further three squares as whole class squares once they have reached their team quota.
I’ve got a larger list of rules that step these out further. Awards are chosen based on class and can be negotiated with the class or you can just make the executive decisions on that front.
I’ve just got to make the individual reader cards that need to be filled out for each square (some will have specific things that they’ll need to fill out - deters them from just cutting and pasting responses and make it a more personalised response).
Anyone interested in a copy?
UPDATE - Here’s the link for people to download!
