Reading to High Schoolers From Susan May, a teacher and journalism advisor at McCook High School in McCook, Nebraska: ìI like to chose a selection from one of my ëChicken Soup for the Soulí books to read aloud to my junior/senior high students. I wear my tall striped ëDr. Seussí hat, and then one of the students gets to wear the hat for the rest of the class. Whenever I misplace the hat or forget to put it on, the kids find it and gently place it on my head. Sometimes we do an activity associated with the story I read. Some days I ëactí the story rather than read it aloud. I like to teach point of view by reading/acting the ëThree Little Pigsí and contrasting it with the wolf's story titled, ëThe True Story of the Three Little Pigs.í I let the students choose a motivational quotation out of my books to write on the chalk board. Dr. Seussís ëOh, The Places You'll Goí is a great one to read aloud to any audience and a great book to give as a graduation gift. I also like to read/act ëAlexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,í especially when I can tell my students lack motivation and need some laughter. Many children's books are short and have great messages for any age audience. I would advise anyone to spend some time browsing in the children's section of the library.î
