Hello, hello!

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share with you a resource that I enjoy using in class and that has proven to be very beneficial in developing my students' reading skills: the implementation of Reading Circles with defined roles.

It's not just a pedagogical approach but a collaborative adventure that has opened unexpected doors in the world of reading. By assigning specific roles to students during our reading sessions, there is increased engagement and a deeper understanding of the texts.

The magic of this methodology lies in how each student takes on a unique role. From the "Discussion Director" to the "Quote Master," everyone brings an invaluable perspective. And the best part? Collaboration among them becomes more natural. They share ideas, analyze books together, and develop a deeper love for reading.

It's not just about improving reading skills; when students take on specific roles, they feel accountable not only for their own learning but also for the group's success. Each one has the opportunity to contribute their unique voice to the discussion, discovering the richness that shared reading can offer. Let's explore the world of reading together and create an environment where every student feels inspired and valued!

Write to me if you have any questions about how I implemented this resource with my students or how you can adapt it for your classroom.

Sending you a big hug,
Kris Mega

Hello, hello!

Greetings everyone! I'm delighted to be here, and I'd like to share the Mafia game, some of you may know it as Werewolves or by another name. In the Mafia game, participants take on secret roles such as the police, the mafia, the doctor, the clown, and the citizen.

The police's task is to identify mafia members during the night.
The mafia aims to eliminate citizens.
The doctor has the ability to protect one player each night.
On the other hand, the clown seeks to be eliminated without revealing their identity, acting unpredictably.
The citizens, in turn, strive to uncover mafia members during daytime discussions and vote to eliminate them, ultimately aiming to keep the city alive or unveil all mafia members.

Success depends on being clever, working together, and reading others' subtle cues. Have fun and let excitement be your guide in this thrilling game with your students!

Best and a big hug,
Kris Mega
