How do you show your thinking in the "we do" portion of the lesson? For each idea/activity, create a new post.

Station Rotation

Whenever I use stations, I have one that is purely for me to be at to work with kids. I can have more meaningful conversations that last in small groups.

Close Reading

Shifting to a different passage, I'll let the students read and annotate on their own and then get them to share (volunteers) while I mark up the screen

Student Whiteboards

I'd pose different sets of questions and have students answer on the whiteboards. We'd talk about their answers then I'd model how to answer the question by indicating the key words that the students should identify.

In other instances, I'd have other students verify other students' answers and provide justification for their response.

Uncommon language

I create a word document with the definitions of uncommon words/terms the students may not be familiar with or understand. We go through the document together to gain a better understanding of these terms.

Group assignments

2024-09-24 12:38:20 UTC

Even within my tiny trailer, I have tried to make my desk into groups because of the valuable takeaways students can get from each other. For reading guides, students are told they can work with each other and contribute to one another's worksheets. I walk around consistently through my classes and make sure they are discussing answers and talking through questions. I recently assigned a podcast assignment where students will be in groups of 2-3 creating a podcast on Emperor Asoka and his impact on Buddhism. They are all expected to talk within the podcast and I help as much as I can with the process but this will lead into the you do portion of gradual release.

Big table support

Specially to reinforce grammar topics, what we do is that I call students, sometimes randomly but specially to those ones who struggles the most. A group of 4-5 comes to my big table and we all do together a practice or answer questions meanwhile the others work in their assignments. This way I can see how they are feeling or ir they need more support.

Student White Board Questions

2024-09-24 12:50:15 UTC

While going through a presentation, I will either use white board questions or cold calls to check for student engagement and understanding. This gives me a quick view as to how well I perceive the students' understanding of the material being presented to them.
