In \u003cem\u003eReading Projects Reimagined\u003c\/em\u003e, Feigelson shows us how conference-based, individual reading projects help students learn how to think for themselves. He provides a concrete picture of what reading projects look and sound like in the classroom with: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003estep-by-step guidelines on how to conduct a productive conference\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecategories to help teachers narrow down possible directions a conference could go\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexamples of student work and teacher-student dialogue.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen readers go beyond simple comprehension questions to extend their own ideas, they're on their way to becoming independent, critical thinkers who can read any text with depth and thoughtfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eReading Projects Reimagined\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"Dan Feigelson is one of our shrewdest and most versatile thinkers in the field of literacy, a guy who can draw from his experiences as classroom teacher, staff developer, principal, and superintendent.

Dan shows us how to shine a light on children's words and intentions in ways that can increase their engagement with texts and inspire investment in their own text-based ideas.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003ccite\u003eKathy Collins\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Feigelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0325051275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780325051277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinemann Educational Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.20w x 0.40d","brand":"Dan Feigelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453308350719,"sku":"9780325051277","price":34.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8ca8063-1c65-4057-ac03-897a16b42dca.jpg?v=1777299492","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-projects-reimagined-dan-feigelson-9780325051277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
