Susan Barber, a high school English teacher in Atlanta, and Brian Sztabnik from Long Island, co-authors of "100% Engagement," dive into innovative strategies to revive student interest in texts. They share engaging methods like 'Cutting Up Poetry,' where students reconstruct poems to spark discussions, and the 'Inferential Timeline' activity that encourages deeper understanding through peer summaries. They also explore 'Text Rendering,' helping students break down passages for clearer insights, all designed to make learning dynamic and collaborative.
