Making Reading Meaningful

Ms. Gately, at Lincoln High School, is doing great things in her classroom to engage students in readings that are culturally relevant. Providing materials that are relevant to students is a part of best teaching practices, and she is nailing it! Ms. Gately frequently uses current events to engage students’ learning in her 9th grade English class. Students happily annotated the article to demonstrate their understanding of structure in texts. Later they used the text to create a reverse outline. These 9th graders are taking learning to the next level. Keep up the good work Ms. Gately!
