Continuing to encourage students to contribute and lead with their prompt cards.
Using e-books from Get Epic is really engaging as it has illustrations or photos for students to discuss.
I have noticed that this group is still very teacher directed, but a few of the students are displaying more and more confidence in sharing their ideas during reciprocal reading.
I have asked the students to set up a Glossary to record down vocabulary that they are unsure of...this hopefully increases the students' bank of words and increases their understanding of text.
Well done, Judy.
ReplyDeleteI like the prompt cards used. Something that I have used to get students to lead discussions is using a Koosh Ball. Kids like the feel of it and it is tactile. Did the students write their own glossary on their own individual document or was it done on a Shared Google Document? Having a shared document would enable the collaboration and shared understanding.
I look forward to following your journey,

Hi Joy,
DeleteThank you for your comment. I love the idea of Koosh ball, I'll look into how I can incorporate that with Reciprocal Reading.
The students have all set up an individual glossary for Reciprocal Reading, but I think having a shared glossary is a brilliant idea, will trial that starting next week. Thank you Joy!
