Opitz Chapter 9


Chapter 9
            For my action research project, I am researching how incorporating student’s interests can benefit motivation as well as student success. Chapter nine discussed the importance of incorporating student’s interests when choosing texts and I am going to incorporate this into my reading groups after students are surveyed. The text stated the importance of motivating children to be readers. I think this is one of the most important aspects when teaching reading. If students are not motivated or have the desire to read, students will not want to take part in reading on their own. Presenting texts that students can relate to is another important aspect when choosing texts. Just as students, I am more interested in a text if I am personally able to relate to the reading. This chapter was very beneficial in that it provided me with a variety of texts to read as well as reasons as to why you should incorporate them in your classroom.
