In this highly interactive, heartwarming, and incredibly helpful session, participants learn how to teach every Iowa core reading standard using Hallmark Holiday films. Come see how the implementation of these fun but rigorous student-centered lessons engages ELLs, builds confidence in reading and listening, and increases recognition of standards in other literary works through the successful evidence-based "Hallmark Transfer Technique". Participants leave with a completed Hallmark Holiday Movie lesson, Academic Reading Binder Core Guide, and a powerful Culturally Responsive Inquiry lesson that dives deeper and challenges topics such as the importance of tradition, food, family, women empowerment, equitable representation of all, focus groups, American advertising, marketing, and more!
