3 thoughts on “PQA in a Wink”

  1. By the way I just started using Ben’s reading options which are on page 161 of The Big CI Book.
    A colleague and I translated them to Spanish
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1–_d47QAx0wmIDi9eZIq56AoZ3SbWOdiBR3djpAiO98/edit
    It was funny in Spanish 1 I have kids that actually are not complete beginners and I asked for student volunteers to read for the class with one of the reading options. This student did “while drinking” and read the class-created story one sentence at a time while taking a sip of his water bottle after each line. The class was laughing at the end.

  2. You know, I’m looking for ways to interact a little more when I read the co-narrated story to the class. Greg, thanks for sharing these reading options (or Director’s Cues?) and how you used them. This is what I’m thinking I will do, take 10 good dramatic reading options from Ben’s list there, write each one of them on a big card. Have a volunteer who wants to play choose from the cards and read a line in that mood/feeling, let’s say, romantically. Then I can offer for another volunteer to read with even more romantic emotion and have the class vote on whose was more dramatic.
    Let’s see, without having really done this in class before, my top 10 dramatic cues from Ben’s list are:
    romantically
    sheepishly
    with face scrunched
    severely
    while eating
    like a king
    like a clown
    nervously
    victoriously
    in an embarrassed way
    grumpy
    mysteriously
    sweetly
    like a (insert animal here)
    ok… that’s more than 10.
