Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working together in small groups, students approach ELA problems from a variety of perspectives. In the "station activities" model, middle school students apply language arts skills in multiple ways. In the course of a single class, students working together in small groups move from one station to the next, focusing on the same problem from a new perspective at each station. The small group format enables teachers to be coaches and facilitators, helping to reinforce student-led explorations. Station Activities for English Language Arts covers the four strands of Comprehension and Interpretation; Making Connections and Evaluation; Composing; and Grammar and Language Usage. Each strand contains five sets of activities, each with four separate stations.
