Inside the Panther Classroom | | |
Mrs. Cathy Edmonds' English classes participated in speed dating with a book. Each student had 3 minutes to rate their first impression as "love at first sight," or "I'm just not that into you," before moving on to read a few pages and decide if their book was a match. Students used this strategy to select their independent reading book for third quarter. | |
