I've recorded the second mini lesson for writing the outline of personal narrative. Students can revisit the video of mini lesson whenever they need the instruction or teaching point.  And what I've felt most effective is that  I could more pay attention to conferring to each student for individualized feedback while students were doing self-paced learning with the instruction video. Students could refer back to the video whenever they need to recall the lesson points.


Students made the graph of well-being based on the challenge and hope the characters have taken during their journey in the book. Even with the same event, it depends whether it is near to the challenge or hope among students.]]> 2022-10-20 15:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349305671 Collaborative and cooperative learning yjinkim1 https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349321109 QFT strategies

The QFocus was some specific chapters in the book, which is about Korean war. In the stage of doing QFT, they were already had open- and closed- ended questions they've made by themselves from last class. Students changed questions from one type to another and put it as a comment in the padlet. They especially enjoyed the step of changing the question type of friends, and there were so many beautiful questions which I didn't expect. They've built different viewpoints off of each other's.

In the first part, we watched short clips about the happening in the classroom and shared how choices and actions impact others; words, gestures, and facial expressions. And for a variety of learning practices, sometimes we used the textbook contents which are very simple but purposeful and refined. Students wrote a letter about a very simple scene and practiced the writing.

In the second half, students practiced writing letters more elaborately. For active planning for students' differences, there are some choices; 1) Students choose the scene teacher made and strategies. or 2) make their own stories and use strategies to resolve conflict.  ]]> 2022-10-20 23:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349814614 choice1. ichoi12 https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349814960 2022-10-20 23:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349814960 choice2.Making stories and using strategies to resolve conflict. ichoi12 https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349816824 2022-10-20 23:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349816824 ichoi12 https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349817941 2022-10-20 23:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349817941 Value Prior Knowledge hj_kim5 https://padlet.com/nmacharia/g0amr7kz0y7rkllv/wish/2349884636 Students had an agency to choose a topic that they want to share and have a lot of prior knowledge.  Teachers also encouraged them to choose a topic that shows themselves the most.

For them it takes a long time just to write a sentence and it is very difficult to write a 4-5 paragraph writing as it is not an approachable goal. The emphasis on this unit is the structure of informational writing. Beginning, middle, and end, which made them difficult to just write freely of what they know.  Better to scaffold ex) sentence starters or fragments. Translanguaging. Oral presentation etc.

After the mini-lesson  I usually give the students some time to concentrate on their individual work. Although I admit that we should be careful not to limit learners to the aspects of the mentor text, but it definitely helps students to comprehend the targeted point.

*For Grade4, 5 I used 'notion' which is so beneficial to keep track of student's progress and manage their learning outcome. Students could also refer to each other's work when they're stuck with their own one at some point.

-For the celebration of learning, we did reading-aloud session. I felt a sense of freshness and sincerity in their writing while reading it together in each student's own voice which I couldn't feel when I read each student's piece alone to provide a comment for feedback as a teacher.  It was a very meaningful experience for me since it allowed me to focus more completely on the context and appreciate it more fully without being distracted by checklists. Surprisingly, I could find their strength and learning progress more while I was enjoying theirs as a pure reader.

-I clearly felt the strength and benefits of providing individualized feedback( which is positive) in public as a spotlight compared to the private talk while implementing the 1:1 conference. Each one has a different function.

The goal of this unit was to write hamburger paragraph essay, 4-5 paragraph essay with beginning, middle, and end. The assessment criteria include the following; divide paragraphs, include topic sentence and appropriate supporting details in each paragraph, write a hook sentence in introduction paragraph, summary in conclusion paragraph etc.

+ Effective feedback and communicates learning process
Used Writing Conference template (Matt Glover) for 1:1 conference and kept track of student's progress and discussed next steps. After writing first draft, more detailed feedback was given. All the feedback was based upon mini-lessons of writer's workshop.

- Supports students to become assessment capable
At the final stage, students used a checklist in order to reflect and assess their own writing. I noticed that they just checked all the criteria in order to finish without actual reflection. Also, some of the criteria was too difficult for them to assess(Does each paragraph have a topic sentence?)

  2. Performance of understanding: They read books about communities, drew pictures, and played roles play-It made them understand the project effectively.
  3. Criteria for ongoing assessment: Keep noticing what they are doing and what is the important thing (criteria) during the project.  Depending on the student's response, the Teacher and students can co-develop.
  4. Feedback for ongoing assessment: equipped criteria, students revise their work again and they can reflect on their work.
