Do you do most of your novel reading in class or assign it for homework? Why?

I do most of my novel reading in class because I have a lot of students with IEPs who require the text to be read aloud to them. Also most of my students are at a lower reading level then they should be at. Reading aloud in class helps me explain what’s going on and start to bridge that gap. When I do reading aloud my students have worksheets that are to be filled out as I read to keep them accountable.

Depends on the type of class! Honors reads outside mostly but CP we read together

Plays we read aloud and act out. We read the beginning of a novel chapters and students finish st home. Read aloud can be dull

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

It's exhausting... Thoughts?
