Directed Reading and Thinking Activities (DRTA)

As we go back to school, and I'm thinking of ways to increase my students' time with text, I think of how powerful Directed Reading and Thinking Activities are. I published my DRTA activity book over 10 years ago, but I'm still writing them for my own students! Posted below is a very high interest text and teacher script based on an article I read recently.
