I am teaching 7th and 8th graders. We are reading a book and I have run out of ideas of ways to have them read it. I have them partner reading, individually reading, using a strategy called fishbowl, girls read one day, boys the next, and have assigned each student a role to read. I have run out of new ideas and don't want to bore them by repeating things too much. Any other ideas on ways to split up the reading an keeping in lively for them?
Answer
Try having one student come up and pretend to be the teacher and call on other students to read.
or
Put them into groups of 4 where one person is the reader, one person asks questions about what was read for a summary, one person finds words that they might not understand and they try to figure out the meaning through the context, and one person asks a few factual questions.
It also depends on what you are reading. If it is nonfiction and can be read out of order, assign groups certain chapters and give them projects where they have to teach the other students about what they read.

Answer
I think Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries books are very funny. If you read the first one, you will probably want to read the others. there are more than 2 of them but you don't have to read them all at once.
Anne Fine is another author who writes good books which are not too long and are also funny. Goggle eyes is a good one.
Jacqueline Wilson is another author who writes funny books for girls. Girls In Love is the first of a series for girls in their early teens which you might enjoy.
