This year, English II classes also used Edmodo for a novel study.
For the duration of this project, you will assume the role of one of the characters from Lord of the Flies. You will pick a number out of a hat, and the number you picked corresponds to one of the following characters, the descriptions of which I’ve posted alongside the character’s name.--Michelle Miholic, STM English teacher

This graph is a pie chart. It shows how many teenagers own phones, how many of them use phones for texting, and how much or often they text. It emphasizes that phones are used most for texting. In the past calling was more popular because texting was inconvenient. Now technology has expanded, texting is easier, and only three percent of teens who own phones do not text. This graph is not misleading.

More sample questions for reading interviews
Compiled our notes from these interviews and added them to the student responses in Google forms.
. . . my students were empowered as readers. The librarians were able to suggest books or authors that might interest even a reluctant reader. It is so important to me that my students develop a real reading life. I want them to find that moment of connection with the written word. I think this activity is probably one of the most important things that I could have possibly done to make that dream a reality. --Karen Minor, STM English teacher
