4:00 A.M. Brush teeth, shower.
4:15 Review video from December 16: 5th grade (school flipcam)
VIDEO:
There is a focus.
Hook: I got a letter in the mail--I usually expect it to be junk mail--and I discovered I enjoyed reading about Mona's experience.
Objective: Today we will use a visualizing strategy during reading.
Teacher: using visualizing concept/example as model/practice on something new (beginning of ESOL fiction story) as guided practice/National Geographic Explorer article about Amazing Caves (nonfiction)
Student talk: M. freely sharing--knowledge of sales & marketing, nonfiction vs. nonfiction, prior experience using strategy seeing pictures in his head. "I feel, you feel like, the month of..., too much."
Basketball: ball hog scenario situation. (C. gradually getting more involved.)
Students observe and discover for themselves that the two National geographical are at different reading levels. They appreciate the difference in level of details. (C. says, Lucky!)
C.is more animated from high-interest nonfiction text. (Acid! Forming shapes in limestone)
Teacher is redirecting, giving examples.
Teacher talk; what words are giving you pictures in your head? How many people do you see? Read and talk first. Write comments on how you make sense of the words to form pictures on your head. What are your connections?
SUGGESTIONS: Clear start time, clearer think-aloud teacher putting herself in student's shoes. More explicit directions and visuals do students don't need to question minimum requirements of assignment. (Do we HAVE to write in sentences?)
Clearer wrap-up needed after establishing indep assess is over! Revisit objective.
