  1. “Can’t We Just Watch The Movie?” Miss Alexandra Stamm Motivating Students to Read Literature

  2. Your Assignment • Take 2 minutes to read the article in front of you • There will be a quiz!

  3. How was the assignment? • Did you read? • Overwhelming? • Piece of cake?

  4. Welcome Back to 10th Grade! • Assignment: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain • Difficult Dialect • About 300 pages in 3 weeks

  5. Student Comments “I’m not reading this!” “I’ll just use Spark Notes” “There’s no way I can read this!” “Yeah, Miss Stamm, not happening” “Can’t we just watch the movie?”

  6. How do I Get My Students to read? 1. Research • Motivation and reading • Fun, relevance, support 2. Strategies • Reading+ strategy 3. Measurement: student reading • 4 question plot quizzes

  7. Action Research Phase 1: What should I do?

  8. Action Research Phase 2: Did it work? Psychology Terms: The findings were not statistically significant English Terms: No strategy worked better than another

  9. What Should Teachers Learn from This? • Students will never read. • Give up. • JUST KIDDING!

  10. Students Need Support! • “Un-overwhelm” them: • Audio books! • Opportunities to participate • Fun and interesting lessons

  11. Conclusion • No quick fix! • Assigning more homework is not “un-overwhelming” • Individual needs • Audio books • Continue my AR! • Do lessons in the classroom effect motivation to read?
