Blog #2 Circular Stories

Circular Stories are really fun to read. I can't think of any kid that doesn't like to read these kind of stories. A circular story is basically circular sequencing, where the plot is linked so that the ending leads back to the beggining. We can call it a "chain".
When using this method of circular sequencing, we can have more students doing their work, listening and even be interested in what is going on in the classroom. For example if you tell the student to read and he/she does not want to, we as teachers should let them know the consequences of not doing their work. Students then will understand that if their not willing to do what is asked by the teacher they may face different consequences such as, not passing, getting a bad grade, no recess, no activities, etc. When the students understand, they'll want to read and do a great job because no student wants to be left out in any activity or be held back a grade. The student then will want to do its best to be an outstanding student.
There is many ways to make reading fun......One of many is to encourage the student to read the title before starting and look through the book by flipping the pages. I think this will keep the students really interested to read the book and see what it is about. Also choose some fun activities to go with the book, ask them for feedback, ask questions about story. There is so many ways to keep students motivated to read. I think reading plays a really important role in a childs life.
