Current Event Report
My students have to do a current event report every week. They choose a news article and write a summary and their personal response to it.

Literature Circle Jobs
Literature Circles are a good way for students to interact with whatever you are reading. They break into groups and each group has a job. These are my ESL adapted descriptions of each job. I have done this with novice to advanced classes-only the reading texts are different!
