Do you have a middle to high school, tech savvy student who does not want to listen? Have you been trying to find a way to get through to this student? I have a suggestion. What about lists?
There is a magazine called Mental Floss. They have a YouTube channel with a web series hosted by award winning author John Green. The web series is also called Mental Floss and it is a list show. John Green hosts the series and always adds little anecdotes and snide comments throughout the ten minute show.
I believe that this can be used in the classroom with literature. If a student is reading a more difficult book or genre, they can create a "list show" of what they learned. They can actually tape the project, or they can write it in a journal. This would be a fun and interactive way to get students involved in a story. They could research the background of the story, list the characters, or come up with something completely new and exciting.
