A1 why do required texts at all? I literally never read a required text in MS/HS. You can reach comp skills with any book #HackLearning

#HackLearning A1: Send Ss to their chosen text to search for that learning. Ex: you can find "inferencing" in just about any fiction text!

@TonySinanis #HackLearning Amen! Too often, DEAR time is misunderstood. Engage by sitting next to Ss-joining their journey. Q, think, talk!

TonySinanis Mar 19 @ 8:54 AM EDT

I'm going to say this- DEAR time is only maximized if the teacher is engaging with readers- talking, questioning, thinking! #HackLearning
