Interactive Reading Lessons

As a child, I loved Choose Your Own Adventure books.  These were the interactive reading lessons of the 70's and 80's.  Today, almost everything our students encounter is interactive - smart phones, iPads, iPods.  As a teacher, it becomes more and more difficult each year to compete with these devices.  Expecting students to passively ingest knowledge, especially in a language classroom, is more outdated than the iPhone 4.

So, I decided to take what I loved so much about those Choose Your Own Adventure books 30 years ago and bring them into the 21st century.

Here are some of the interactive lessons I have developed for use in my classroom:

Interactive Reading:  Búsqueda del Tesoro
Interactive Culture:  What Would Benito Juarez Do?
