When they do this, they often just write notes "within the text" and tell what happened. Most students need support to dive deeper and think beyond the text. ]]> 2021-10-13 10:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813547271 https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813548823 In the few instances where we have implemented our book clubs, students have been engaged and able to sit and read for longer periods of time because they have a more concrete task in front of them. ]]> 2021-10-13 10:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813548823 gabrielaluz2_1 https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813548896 Book clubs!

After a dynamic read out loud moment, there was time to reflect about the different possible interpretations of the text. One thing that I believe worked well, was the unpacking activities that Cris, suggested. Having already some questions and possible ways of answering prepared in the slides, helped students to focus more. ]]> 2021-10-13 10:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813549002 https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813550207 Among all students, stamina has improved compared to the beginning of the year. ]]> 2021-10-13 10:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813550207 berenicebarra2 https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813550497 The book clubs have engaged students in discussing the books they have been reading .

Students have a more clear picture of the ways their writing must improve to be at 5th grade level and they are working on different areas, like the structure (use of paragraphs) and the elaboration (making stronger beginnings, middles and endings).]]> 2021-10-13 10:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813553751 inesmoura1 https://padlet.com/danielakemeny1_1/gsju0m8oxysc15f2/wish/1813555009 From what I could observe, it seems that it's clear for students that texts can be interpreted in different ways. That is a result of our different backgrounds and experiences. I believe they understand and value that diversity of interpretations.

We're right at the threshold of moving away from books which are below benchmark, so we're curious to see how they can improve their skills.
