[CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays--High School?

[LaPlante, Casey]

I visit 9th grade classes on Fridays and read for 10-15 minutes either at
the beginning or the end of class. I put on a zen-type nature video on the
screen behind me and hand out sheets of paper to doodle on, but that's it.
No screens or devices allowed and I encourage kids to take a "brain break"
and just listen (or daydream). They're not responsible for any of this
info, no need to take notes or remember. I read different books in
different periods so they can check it out at the end of the reading if
someone wants it and I don't get bored reading the same chapter seven
times.
