For anyone new, remember to add #adwteach to all tweets so we can see them and add the question # with the code A1, A2, etc before your text

Q1: Our topic is literacy in content areas. What does "every teacher is a reading teacher" mean to you? #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:13 PM EST

@CountOnTeamwork come join our chat! #adwteach

In reply to @CountOnTeamwork

mmdetrick Feb 22 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Every teacher is responsible for presenting content material to Ss ability. #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: literacy doesn't happen in isolation. Children need to be able to read across various situations and types of text #adwteach

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1: Responsibility of every T to be cross-curricular & make connections. We need to teach how to read specific to our content #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:17 PM EST

Yes! Love cross curricular! #adwteach

In reply to @amylpie

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2: What sort of reading do students do for your class (or in content areas if you teach all subjects)? #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Last year I started novel studies in science and this year I expanded that to all classes. #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: I also love to incorporate poetry, short stories, children stories, and articles #adwteach

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2: Help Menus, Coding blocks, directions (but not very well!) #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:21 PM EST

Love that definition! Do you use any resources in particular for this? Like Newsela or something like that? #adwteach

In reply to @mmdetrick

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:23 PM EST

Q3: How do you encourage and develop nonfiction reading in your class? #adwteach

mmdetrick Feb 22 @ 8:24 PM EST

That's a great resource, or magazines, picture books, content, articles...#adwteach

In reply to @MrsMay_Science

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:26 PM EST

A3: I don't use textbooks so all of our nonfiction reading comes from news articles or @DiscoveryEd (which I love!) #adwteach

In reply to @DiscoveryEd

AbGreer Feb 22 @ 8:26 PM EST

can you share examples of novels you found success using? #adwteach

In reply to @MrsMay_Science

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:27 PM EST

Yes! I've used October Sky, Steve Jobs: Insanely Great, Pi in the Sky, Flush, and The Apprenticeship of Lucas Whitaker #adwteach

In reply to @AbGreer

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3: It's a part of what we do, but I do encourage Ts to use @Newsela for articles of all types! #adwteach

In reply to @Newsela

mmdetrick Feb 22 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3: Pulling those article or picturebooks for current topic. Heading in to March Madness - perhaps non fiction brackets? #adwteach

AbGreer Feb 22 @ 8:28 PM EST

children's stories are helpful at all ages. @4thelongesttime used a few on the sophomore retreat for @BMHSMustangs #adwteach

Q4: Do you read any fictional texts in your content area classes (science, social studies, tech, math, art, etcl)? #adwteach

mmdetrick Feb 22 @ 8:33 PM EST

In reply to @KellyGToGo

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: Our art teacher just read When Pigasso Met Mootise to his classes. Love this book! #adwteach

AliceHa36293796 Feb 22 @ 8:34 PM EST

I've used lots of fun math picture books like The Greedy Triangle #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4: Pi in the Sky is an AWESOME science fiction text. It has good solid physics but it's mixed in with a crazy imaginative story #adwteach

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: Well, we CREATE a lot of fiction. @carnegielibrary has an awesome storymaker app. The kids read their stories to their @Seesaw #adwteach

Q5: how do you sue read alouds in your class? #adwteach

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:40 PM EST

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:41 PM EST

Q5: How do you use read alouds in your class? #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:41 PM EST

A5: I found this great book "But I Read it on the Internet" - excellent for teaching the importance of checking sources #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5: Also check out My Fantastic Elastic Brain and The OK Book #adwteach

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5: Read alouds are great for modeling, making connections, and engaging Ss in text they might not pick up. #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:43 PM EST

2 More Questions! #adwteach

mmdetrick Feb 22 @ 8:43 PM EST

amylpie Feb 22 @ 8:45 PM EST

A6: Literature and Social Studies go hand in hand! #adwteach

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:45 PM EST

MrsMay_Science Feb 22 @ 8:47 PM EST

We were talking about this today and how amazing a cotaught humanities class would be. They go together so perfectly! #adwteach
