Reading Without Walls - REMIX
Reading books about people who are different than you helps you build empathy and compassion. This Tic Tac Toe board is a remix for high school audiences that encourages students to read books about diverse characters that also includes digital activities for students to demonstrate their understanding and critical thinking about the books they select.
Notes & Recommendations:
- Students should be familiar with the terms "mirrors," "windows," and "sliding glass doors" in regards to books.
- This document is designed to be shared digitally. Each student will need their own editable copy.
- Teachers should collaborate with students on book choices and conference with students during reading to monitor comprehension and engagement, providing feedback as needed.
- Teachers will likely need to provide mini-lessons on using Screencastify and/or WeVideo and Canva.
- The challenge level of this project can be scaled up or down based on the number of required books and/or the complexity of the texts the student selects.
