1 a Grounded Theory for Creating Adolescent 1 A GROUNDED THEORY FOR CREATING ADOLESCENT READERS by Cheryl Melissa Tacy Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University 2017 2 A GROUNDED THEORY FOR CREATING ADOLESCENT READERS by Cheryl Melissa Tacy A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2017 APPROVED BY: Brenda Ayres, Ph.D., Committee Chair Thomas Brittain, Ed. D., Committee Member Gregory Smith, Ph.D., Committee Member 3 ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to discover the impact on adolescent reading motivation as students were given an opportunity to select recreational reading material and read consistently during class time. This study also explored the motivational impact of student engagement from dialogue with peers about their reading content to help students gain a clearer understanding of their reading. Research data were collected from public high school students in grades 9-12 who were enrolled in an elective class or 11th or 12th grade English courses and provided feedback about exposing students to a variety of options for self-selected reading, class time to read, and class discussion for improved understanding of texts. Data were collected using triangulation from silent reading observations, peer discussion transcripts, student journals written after discussions, and final interview transcripts. Analysis of data was conducted using a constant comparison of identified themes. A systematic design aided in coding of categories found from data through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results have provided data for generating a theory about increasing reading motivation. The theory presented as the core phenomenon suggests that students should have access to a wide variety of interesting reading content to increase motivation to read. Students attribute their reading interests to self-selection of the material along with time to read and discuss with peers in class. This theory is presented for future research study and current application in public classrooms to elicit increased reading engagement from students. Keywords: reading motivation, adolescent reading, self-selected reading, peer dialogue, silent reading, young adult literature 4 Dedication To my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I give all the glory. Any accomplishments that I achieve are through Christ and not by my own doing. I have learned that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). There have been many dark times in this journey, and my faith has been weak, but I had to constantly stand on God’s word and remember that he promises “he will never leave” me “nor forsake” me (Deuteronomy 31:6b). As I struggled, God reminded me of his plans to “prosper” me “and not to harm” me (Jeremiah 29:11). 5 Table of Contents ABSTRACT……………………………………….………………….………………….………3 Dedication/Acknowledgement

materials for recreational reading, they become more motivated to read and increase the amount of time spent reading, especially when given consistent time to read in the classroom (Miller, D., 2012). When teachers facilitate students’ autonomous selection of reading material, students intrinsically gain self-control, discover engaging novels (Duncan, 2010), and experience a desire to read. Reading material as discussed here refers to a variety of texts and genres for fiction and nonfiction novels and short stories used in classrooms for recreational or independent and instructional reading. While high school students sometimes read only what is assigned to them, they can be very literate in their use of the “new literacies” or “information communication technology” (Gainer & Lapp, 2010, p. 1). These students communicate and search for information using text messaging, twitter, Facebook, instant messaging, snapchat, Instagram, and email. Teens read blogs, Wikis, online gaming sites, and a variety of other internet sources (Gainer & Lapp, 2010). Even though critical literacy exposure may occur with most texts as the reader obtains and communicates information and then conveys understanding of the conditions of each event (Fisher, Frey, & Lapp, 2012), for increased reading engagement to occur, students should be provided time for self-selected independent reading in the classroom which requires structure and consistency. In addition, reading material can be downloaded to an electronic Kindle device or an iPad, iPod, or iPhone (Gainer & Lapp, 2010), and this option is important for the allowance of student selection in reading texts. However, students can be overwhelmed with too many reading options, and a teacher must narrow the selection to steer students toward 10 interesting, rigorous reading (Witter, 2013). Students will benefit from exposure to a variety of reading materials and time provided to independently

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

NOTE: This page is for people who have read Looking for Alaska. As such, it contains numerous huge spoilers. If you have not read Looking for Alaska, kindly avert your eyes. Questions about the book can be asked here. This page is organized into categories: Writing the Book/Inspiration Why Did I… My Beliefs/Opinions Alaska’s Death Symbols/Metaphors Specific Quotations Culver Creek Pudge Alaska Takumi Pudge and Alaska’s Relationship The Film Other Questions about Writing and Inspiration Q. Do you really know all those people’s last words? A. Yeah. I’m sort of obsessed with last words. (Many of my favorites did not make it into the book, actually.) You can watch me reciting favorite last words here and then listing the last words of every American President here. Q. How long did it take to write Alaska? A. I began the book in earnest just after 9/11, and it was published in March of 2005. But for one of those years, I was in the process of breaking up with a girl (well, technically, she was in the process of breaking up with me), which is not a situation conducive to writing well. Also, I rewrite a lot. Q. How did you come up with the countdown chapter titles? A. Well, right after 9/11, everyone on TV was talking about how this was a defining moment in American history, and how we would all view the world through the lens of 9/11.

  • Looking for Alaska by John Green Before
    Looking for Alaska by John Green Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. Why you'll like it: Unexpected. Compelling. Sobering. Poignant. About the Author: John Green is the New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars. He is also the coauthor, with David Levithan, of Will Grayson, Will Grayson. He was 2006 recipient of the Michael L. Printz Award, a 2009 Edgar Award winner, and has twice been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Green’s books have been published in more than a dozen languages. Questions for Discussion: 1. Is forgiveness universal? I mean, is forgiveness really availableto all people, no matter the circumstances? Is it, for instance, possible for the dead to forgive the living, and for the living to forgive the dead? 2. I would argue that both in fiction and in real life, teenage smoking is a symbolic action. What do you think it’s intended to symbolize, and what does it actually end up symbolizing? To phrase this question differently: Why would anyone ever pay money in exchange for the opportunity to acquire lung cancer and/or emphysema? 3.
