YES,my teacher does let me pick choices so we can enjoy books and assignments.We should get choices because we like picking our own books,not boring books.
No, my teacher doesn't give us choices of reading an assignment. So what I'm saying is that I think teachers should let us decide what books we want to read.
If you could a couple of books to read what would they be?
Out of curiousity, can you tell me what you are reading that is boring? Maybe we can do something about that if we know which books you really don't care for.
We can choose the books that we may like. I wouldn't like that my language arts teacher choose my books because may be we dont have the same likes. I do think kids should get some reading choice because maybe the would like to read more.
Raquel♥ said... I like to choose my book because, if she choose's my book i may not like it and i wont pay much attencion to the book, as i will if i choose the book LOVE RAQUEL G.♥ jiji:)
Yes our teacher does give us freedom in choosing our reading assignments. I like it because we get to choose what we like. I also like it because we don't feel pressured on doing something we don't enjoy. I apreciate my teacher giving us the choice to choose.
In My language arts class in english LA/SS we get tons and awesome variety at WAIS. I love the books I get to pick. On the other hand, since I'm in Dual Language, I get LA/SS also in Spanish and I do have to say our teacher assigns us books, which I really don't like since its not my thing for that certian topic. I feel people should have choice to read what they want and have loads of variety so people can actually enjoy what they are reading. As a strong reader myself, I have different opinions in what I like and don't like to read. So if anybody, even a teacher, may read this blog, I hope they will understand and allow more choice in what we read, so people won't get bored with what they are reading. So any student can find reading as something fun and a everyday thing! Thanks for this page and all the questions. Elizabeth 6th grader at Westchester Academy
WAIS is a great school- don't worry about teachers reading this...they understand that kids have a right to their own opinions. I love that you have your own ideas about what you like and don't like- good for you! How do you like dual language at middle school?
My LA teacher gave us 6 choices of books we could read. He told us to pick our top three favorite and almost everyone got their top two choices. I think giving us a choice of what to read is good for students because then they will most likely enjoy the book. And if we complain then my teacher can just say "Hey, you picked it!"
Its pretty cool that they have Dual Language at WAIS considering I've done it since kinder thats how I got in through my spanish. Well to start my day I get science in spanish although I would much perfer english since it is my first language but I do like it I learned so many words I had never even known it existed and for Electives I have dual language for language arts in spanish. I do like it. We have a book called "Sendas" that we read spanish readings from and we have work book of the same name where we answer questions from stories we read from the story. The thing I like the best that other kids in my class dread is the projects we get. Although we are reading the same book right now before then we got to pick a book we wanted to read then we did a cool book report like for example he gives us a list of body parts like nose,ears, arms ect. and we answer questions like what does the main character do with those certinan parts and we put it all in a little booklet we make its really cool and fun. I HIGHLY recommend to send kids to WAIS for the dual language program its awesome!! Elizabeth 6th grade Westchester Academy
Hi Elizabeth- Wow! WAIS is a pretty cool place to be- I agree. I bet science is kind of hard in your second language. I am glad you like the projects- I wonder why the other kids dread them? Do you have flexibility in the kinds of projects you do or does your teacher assign the project to you? Do you use lots of technology in your projects?
Well In science we get all types of options we can use, we can use flipcharts, animation and jeopardy its really fun. We also use lots of technology. We use all the options and we use the computer and books. Right now we are doing a project on space. Well my group is, because we either got the water cycle or space and I choose Space with the topic of comets. My partner and I agreed to a animation. It's so cool. In english for LA/SS our teacher tells us to a certian way to do the project but we get different choices, which is awesome. We get to pick a partner and we pick a 2 countries to study about and we are going to make a photo story. We got Italy and Switzerland. We just finished the electronic journal and tomorrow we are starting the photo story. I am so exited!! Language Arts in spanish- we are doing the SAME book, the SAME project, which I find very boring. The cool thing is that the project we ALL HAVE TO DO is a popup book, which I just started today. Overall, its pretty cool. I really don't know why some kids dislike these projects. They are really fun. I can't wait to finish my projects! Elizabeth 6th grade Westechester Academy
I do have a choice in reading in my language arts class. I like it because you get a choice of what you would like to read. Instead of reading a book that you dont find interesting that way when you get your choice you will keep reading the book.
yes my teacher does give me a choice of reading any book i like. I actually do really like that because i get to choose any book im intrested in and i dnt have to read a boring book!
Yes, my teacher lets me choose what I would like to read. I like that because I don't like every type of genre so it's nice to be able to read and also enjoy my book.
Yes she does give us a choice to pick what book we want so we could read abook we like and if u didnt like it we could return the book and get a better one.I love to get wat book I want for example the book Crank is a really cool book and I like it
yes and i like that because if you are gonna read a book, it would a book that you like. you dont want to read a book that is boring, not interesting, and just not you.
I am glad to hear that most of you do get a choice in your reading- it should be that way. If you don't, I would be curious to know why you think the teacher doesn't give you choice? It is really hard to be made to read something you cannot stand, YUK!
I go to springwoods and my LA teacher always lets me pick out the books I want. She's really good at teaching too. She respects are descions and understand us.
Yes...and no. We get to choose what NOVELS we want to read, but we're not allowed to read manga (japanese graphic novels). In Japan, manga is taken more seriously than the American equalvilant of comic books. Manga is just as helpful (if not MORE helpful) to students who find reading boring (such as my sister). And some American graphic novels are very good for reading,too. When me and my sister go to the library, she ALWAYS gets graphic novels. When my sister comes to SWMS next year, I want her to be able to pick whatever books she wants to read, whether graphic novels or normal novels. So, I would really appreciate if manga and other graphic novels would be conisidered appropriate reading material. Oh, and thank you for taking the time to read my comment.
Sometimes, because she makes us read other books when we have to work with other kids and when it's individual we can choose any book we want to read or we enjoy.
Yes our teacher allows us to chose what we read. BUT I think that all the teachers who dont allow their kids to chose their own reading should be talked to by their supervisers and be delt with. For example they shoul be evaluated.
Yeah..for the most part, our teacher lets us read whatever we want as long as it is school appropriate and as long as we try to stick to our reading level. Sometimes she will give us something that we need to read for class, but that's pretty much it.
I think that we should choose our own type of book. Because if Youh Dont Like The Book Your Not Going To Want To Read It. But Ms.McClure Lets us Read What We Want.
Yes, she let's us pick what book we want to read. Which is very cool. I like it because if we read the books she chose for us, they'd probably be boring. So we enjoy picking our own books.
yes my teacher does let me choose what i can read.. i do like that because i can read something i will enjoy and actually be into the book and maybe i would want to really read it because i dont like reading that much
I think you are a good and intellectual person. When we, the Spring Woods MS students get the I Touch is there a way to take them to our house to use them?
My teacher lets us choose our books and i guess its cool.I personly dont like to read.Im happy that our teacher lets us pick our book so that im not reading something boring.When u asked about what kids like to read.I like to read books by this author named Scott Westerfeld.Ive read two of his books.Peeps is one of his books that is about vampires and The last Days that is also about vampires.Right now im on my third book named So Yesterday which is about a kid who's boss goes missing.Thank you for making this site to communicate with us.

My teacher let us choose our own books. But one change I'd like to see is for students to select their own book for summer readind. I hate having to choose from a book pre choosen for me.
I would love to meet Ms. McClure- she sounds awesome!
Yes, I would love to come to your school and talk to you about what I do. Talk to your teacher or principal and ask when we can do that. WOuld love to meet all of you!
It would be so awsome if you came to our school.We would really apperciate it!I loved this website so much i dicede to get on at home.I think its awsome what your doing to talk with the kids and make the schools better. Ms.McClure is cool.Please come and see us (:
hhheeeellllooooo i have not been reading a book because i have never had time for it because i was sick and in the hospital for almost a whole month and i could not read so yea:::::]]]]]]
my teacher gives us a choice and i think all kids should have a choice beacause it says a lot about them and they should choose somethin that they like.!
Hi JB sorry I havent commented it a while, been so busy with school lately. Well this year at WAIS, for dual language we had to read an assigned book AGAIN! UGH! Bur then my mom email my dual language teacher and asked him if I could read another book so now I'm reading a book called "Mas Alla de Mi" or in english "Reaching Out" by Fransico Jimenez, oh boy I read his 1st 2 books and they are awesome! My mom emailed him and she made an idea where different parents could donate books and help him out with getting new books for our class! You see the reason we have to read those books her gives us is because he doesn't have anyother ones and the WHOLE classed agreed that the book he gave us was just possitively BORING, with a capital everything! Well for english LA/SS my teacher (who is awesome) gives us many books to choose to read and it is so much fun. Kids should be able to read books that intrest then and not what the teacher gives them, because if the student finds a book that they enjoy the might accually read it, for those student who just arent readers!
Spring Branch students, this is your opportunity to talk about your learning experience-- what you like, what you would like to change, what excites you (or not) and what you would like to see us do to make learning worth your time.
I am going to post topics on occasion and would like your feedback on these topics. If you want to, put your first name and school. If you don't want to put your school, then please share your age.
I have an opportunity to affect your experiences in the classroom and I am listening!
No & Yes because some kids dont really like to read or they just dont have the time.
