First off, I want to apologise for not being on for years. Work and coursework is getting the best of me. I'll be making more time to totse!
Anyway, at work I get called into a different classroom every Wednesday afternoon for one hour to do 'guided reading' This basically means the kids will read a book, we'll talk about it, and then they'll answer some questions on a sheet, but it's hard to keep the concentration of the kids because reading, then answering questions on a dull A4 sheet booklet isn't really fun. Do you have any ideas I can use to maybe make this a bit more fun?
On this table I have about 5 kids, and I don't have access to change the booklet, or the book. Any ideas?

The questions they have to answer, change it to a conversation.
How about a MS presentation to go with that boring old A4 booklet. Fuck knows how you'd do it. You could place the questions on an office presentation (with a bit of eye candy and shit,) and they can just answer in the boring assed booklet.
How old are these kids anyways?
Seriously . I'll give it a go. No promises on results though since I'm a dedicated linux user and only have Libre office. Whether your office program is compatible with it, I'm uncertain of, but you'll get a rough idea of what I'm burbling about.
I like the role play idea by teh waiz!. :thumbsup:
