The highlighter role

Yes, I was supposed to present my three-minutes this morning at the #TeachMeet International, but because of technical difficulties in logging in, I decided to go back to bed instead of fooling around with it any longer. I promised to record my presentation on The Highlighter Role of Academic Reading Circles (ARC) in lieu.  Here we are (though I doubt I squished it into 3 minutes).

Hi! Tyson!

What a great recording! I really like the PresentMe format. These are great ideas and activities for students. Thank you for the ideas! Hopefully, I’ll see you live at TESOL France!

Thanks Tyson.

I’m implementing a literary reading circle at my school, but watching your video, I realized that the way you’ve created ARC could be really useful for my students studying for their university entrance exams in Japan as well. There is a fairly long essay, usually academic-ish in nature, on each of the exams and I think ARC would provide a really useful structure for tackling these essays. I’ve been reading about how you set up ARC for the past week or so on this site, but it was only after watching the video that the light went on and I could see how to implement it in my other classes.

As always, thanks for the ideas.
