  1. Starting with a movie clip-Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y9aKqawdUQ

  2. What have you just done? Probably more than you realize…

  3. Hopefully, you • Watched • Laughed • Understood • But you also: • Read, quickly • Inferred • Interpreted/Made connections • Applied previous knowledge • Analyzed • Empathized

  4. “Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.” Neil Gaiman

  5. Why are readers reluctant? • 1. They’ve been told or received the message that they are poor readers-reading groups • 2. Frustration, inadequacy, confusion, and shame • 3. Peer embarrassment • 4. Language barriers, learning disabilities, family problems

  6. Engaging the reluctant reader through: • Foreign Film • Graphic Novels • Audio Recordings

  7. Foreign Film • Short bursts of text • Rarely more than one or two sentences • No long paragraphs or chapters • Movement, speech, and sound

  8. Kerry Holmes- Engaging reluctant readers through foreign films (2005) Au Revoir, les Enfants Jean De Florette Rashomon Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Life is Beautiful (Joyeux Noel) (Spirited Away) (Ju-on: The Grudge) War and Peace (Parts 1-4) (really?)

  9. Graphic Novels:

  10. Audio Recordings • Visual Learners • Auditory Learners • Kinesthetic Learners (tactile)

  11. “The Tell-tale Heart” • True!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses– not destroyed—not dulled them.
