Dialogues for the Science Classroom
-
Engage your science students in dialogues – with content written as interesting conversations, students read, act, communicate and listen as they take on the role of one of the two characters in the dialogue while learning science content, issues, history and activity-based situations.
-
Get students out of their passive mode and into a highly productive lesson using dialogues. Each book contains a section focusing on how to use dialogues in the classroom. Used in regular or flipped classrooms, also used for ESL, ELL, and to improve reading and language skills, or for home schooling. Make sure your classroom or library has these exciting resources.
