  3. Deep Reading “If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” --- Oscar Wilde

  4. “If you are struggling to find the time in class to read, it can be helpful to broaden the definition of text. Photos, infographics, diagrams, videos, and even lectures can all be considered texts. Build disciplinary thinking skills by teaching students to approach these materials with the same critical reading lens they apply to more traditional printed materials.” ---Heather Lattimer

  5. Close Reading for Life ”Close reading is when a reader independently stops at moments in a text (or media or life) to reread and observe the choices an author has made. He or she reflects on those observations to reach for new understandings that can color the way the rest of the book is read (or song heard or life lived) and thought about.” – Chris Lehman

  6. History and Social ScienceStandards ofLearningfor VirginiaPublic Schools (March 2015) History should be the integrative core of the curriculum, in which both the humanities (such as art and literature) and the social sciences (political science, economics, and geography) come to life. Through the study of history, students can better understand their own society as well as others. Students will understand chronological thinking and the connections between causes and effects and between continuity and change. History enables students to see how people in other times and places have grappled with the fundamental questions of truth, justice, and personal responsibility, understand that ideas have real consequences, and realize that events are shaped by ideas and the actions of individuals. History shows the relationship among past, current, and future issues.
