Promoting Community in an Extensive Reading Course
This presentation will describe the ways in which the author provided opportunities for students to share information about their reading in order to attempt to promote a reading community within a one-semester extensive reading course. Results of an end-of-term survey (n=28) conducted to investigate the degree to which students shared information, the kinds of information shared, and the impact it had on their book choices will be presented, and the implications will be discussed.
