Each day during reading workshop students work through various rotations. One of the rotations is “work with teacher”. During “work with the teacher” students and their group members work with Ms. LaRose. This week each group began setting goals. Below are the goals each group is working towards.
Blue Group – The blue group is working on using evidence from the text to answer questions. Students have been highlighting the question and then using the same colored highlighter to highlight the answer in text. Once the answer is highlighted students are taking information from the text to answer the question in a complete sentence.
Pink Group – The pink group is working on “getting a little conversation going”. When a student has a Post-it note to share out they are the leader. The leader’s responsibility is to make sure they have the audiences (their classmates) attention. In addition, the student leading the conversation (sharing their Post-it note) calls on students who would like to add onto the leader’s discussion topic. Below is a short video of one student sharing out. Because students’ names are used you will need the password, if you do not have the password and would like it please contact (larosen@csdvt.org)
Green and Yellow Group – Both groups are working hard on writing Response to Texts. To help formulate a Response to Text students are using the five finger paragraph outline (photograph below). To complete a Response to Text students are using evidence from the text to write a paragraph. Students are working hard on learning the six components of a five finger paragraph and how to use evidence from the text to back-up the focus on their writing pieces. Below are a few examples of students’ responses.
