· Setting expectations and rules
· Modelling response, using ‘Think-alouds’
· Sharing personal experience to allow students to relate better to her

Laughter, helps build rapport and deepen TSR such that learning is made enjoyable and students are more willing to share given the positive classroom culture. 

Broad overviews of what to expect: textual connections to self, to the world, to media and to text. ]]> 2023-01-13 07:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/b2l24qs9xfe7107x/wish/2443257931 Min Yan https://padlet.com/moegebr/b2l24qs9xfe7107x/wish/2443258051 I like how she drew examples using books that the pupils have read and she also gave her own personal experiences to spark their interest.

She also made it very clear that it’s not homework but appreciation of reading and growing as a reader. 

She uses ‘we’ instead of ‘you’ to show that they are in this together. And she shared her personal experience as a reader and how she drew connection between a personal experience and her reading.
