In Chapter 7 of Classrooms That Work, it brings up the idea of using the Oprah Winfrey interview with students and the books they are reading. I absolutely love this idea and definitely will be using it in my classroom. It's the perfect way to allow children a creative outlet and use theatre in connection with comprehension and understanding what they are reading. This lesson could be applied to so many different grade levels in elementary school based on the reading level of most students in the classroom. The book I am reading for the book club is The Watsons Go to Birmingham, and I truly feel like this would be a great book to use the interview with. Each character is fun and memorable to act out.
