Where it’s womething that just happens without even having to plan or think about it. ]]> 2019-02-05 13:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327731226 I use Popsicle sticks, but not colored ones. If I pull a certain student's stick who needs help or is in one of the categories she mentioned, I will just give them more guidance or wait time. I would like to try the cards. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327740823 2019-02-05 13:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327740823 I hope to get ideas on how to change things or add to what I do already. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327742031 2019-02-05 13:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327742031 I need to practice more timed thinking and pair share after RAN. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327756304 Cara]]> 2019-02-05 13:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327756304 I'd love to hear more ideas with RAN. I do popsicle sticks & have tried chips. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327756689 Cara]]> 2019-02-05 13:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/327756689 I hope to make the ILO more interactive for the students. We've been echo reading the TPO but I would like to get to where they can share with AB partner what the TPO says. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328049997 2019-02-05 22:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328049997 I've used popsicles sticks in previous years. This year I've been using the random app on DOJO. I would like to use the deck of cards. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328050595 2019-02-05 22:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328050595 https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328088972 I am still a tad inconsistent with my ILO. Sometimes I find myself just jumping right into the lesson. My goal is for it to become seamlessly part of my daily routine.

My students love it and are always telling me to "draw sticks!!"  I have used their class numbers as well by calling out a random number from 1-20. The cards are pretty cool- I'm ready to switch it up a little.

We use it for A/B partners now as well. They like having new partners. I was hesitant to try it at first, but it is working well. https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328098561 2019-02-06 03:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/328098561 K cyprus https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/329154187 I Want to continue to add to my tools of questions for higher level thinking remembering to always bring it back to our purpose for learning that lesson!]]> 2019-02-08 12:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/329154187 Getting the Most out of Watching Your Students: Video your TPO/ILO (roughly 10 minutes) to get a clear picture of reality.

Although we have had pretty much the same TPO for 2 weeks, they still stare with blank faces so I paraphrase quite a bit to try to get them to understand it.  They have done fine with the activity, but just going over the TPO with them is sometimes a struggle.
Same with vocabulary. We've talked about the same words and I still have to tell them and show them every time what the words mean.]]> 2019-02-15 13:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/331706561 Cara https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332104473 This week was very difficult. I've had a lot of trouble with one of my classes. I tried a new challenge with one of our transitions, and it has worked so that is good. They are timed on their transition to the rug with all supplies and next to AB partner. If they are faster at end of week than my other class, they get some free time at the end of the week. I'm definitely continuing this. I did not video but did record myself talking to the class. It was helpful to hear my tone. Sometimes my tone is not as kind as I would like it. I"m working on that. Giving clear instructions in a non emotional way, and reacting to incorrect behavior like a referee - just calling out consequences without emotion and no lecturing. Still working on this!!!]]> 2019-02-17 13:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332104473 2 Kinds and Types of Questions... eeslitcoach https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332166913 After watching this video, you'll learn about two kinds and types of questions, open and closed. Opened questions allow for students to share their opinions and thinking, whereas, closed questions check for understanding and can be right/wrong, true/false, etc. 
 
By Friday, Feb. 22nd respond to the following questions: Why do you think it's important to plan for open-ended questions? How do they impact student learning?

We read echo read the TPO one time. Then I went over over the AVE. I told the AB partners that they would be respsonible for sharing what each vocabulary word meant. We had two in the word catcher. We then echo read the TPO again. Then they did a pair share on the AVE. I then used class dojo to randomly call on two people to share what the AVE words meant to them. 

Making the students aware that they would have a job or have to pair share about the TPO made them more attentive.

This year however, I’ve used the random chooser on DOJO. ]]> 2019-02-17 21:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332169587 Application - Create Questions using the Question Chart eeslitcoach https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332170142 Here's a way to apply what you've learned about the kind, types, and level of questions. 

Doesn't this graphic look familiar (think, rigor and relevance!)? You will fill in the chart, creating your own questions using a word from the rows on the left with a word on the top in the columns. They can be stems or complete questions. Take a picture and post your chart below. We can all learn from each other's questions! Post your response by: Thursday, March 7th. ]]> 2019-02-17 21:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332170142 Kadee https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332198153 Since November we have done the same thing: we echo read the TPO. I paraphrase the TPO because although they repeat it, they have no idea what they are saying. If at all possible, we make hand motions to help them remember. Many of my students are kinesthetic learners. They then share with their A/B partners what we are learning today in their own words. "Today in reader's workshop we will......."  Often they are on task and telling their partners what they think we are learning. (Many of the students were arguing with their A/B partners, so we now get new partners every time via the Dojo grouping tool and they love it, usually.) I also use the Dojo randomization tool to call on 2-4 groups to paraphrase the TPO. Unfortunately, the same students always get it and the same students do not. I have no idea how to change this. I have tried. By the end of the week, they even know many of the words in the TPO without prompting, but they just don't understand what it means. Often they say the product is what they are learning, so I call it progress that we have some recall, but overall it is very discouraging. I think it takes valuable time that could be used to get on with the lesson. We have been told time and time again that the attention span of children is equal to their age. If we are spending 5 minutes (I sometimes spend more, especially if it is new to them) on a TPO, we have lost many of them by the time we get to our mini lesson.

Often they retain information better when they are able to explain and make connections in their thought processes. ]]> 2019-02-18 01:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332204429 IP/AVE Kristin https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332214525 my TPO and AVE go pretty well, but they are not retaining the info from week to week. 
I added visuals to the vocabulary this week, and it helped quite a bit- they also seemed more engaged when matching the pictures with the definitions or terms. Some of the terms are difficult to put visuals with. 
My challenge is reflections. I run out of time!!!!
I did do a mentimeter this week for reflection which is slow but engaging. Although I feel like they are more interested in seeing their own response on the board rather than all the reflections.]]> 2019-02-18 03:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/332214525 Briggs https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/333409063 I couldn't see the video either, but I think that open ended questions not only expand each child's thinking and thought process, but also serve as somewhat of a confidence builder. I have a few students who (usually) are not able to provide the correct answer to a closed question, but they are able to confidently explain their thoughts to an open ended question. ]]> 2019-02-20 21:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/333409063 Kroll https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/333839708 It's important to plan for open-ended questions because its natural to ask closed questions if there has been no pre-planning. Open-ended questions allow to students to respond past a basic (yes or no). This allows them to explain and justify their thinking. When students have to justify their thinking the information and content become meaningful or thoughtful. ]]> 2019-02-21 19:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/333839708 kristin https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/334002903 Open ended questions get kids talking plain and simple... they are thinking about possible answers and practicing their conversational skills in a setting where they don't feel judged. It's going to create a safe feeling for them which will get them discussing even more the next time. Additionally, they may become more curious about the topic and extend themselves into the upper end off the rigor rubric!]]> 2019-02-22 03:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/334002903 Cara https://padlet.com/eeslitcoach/io504eex96qc/wish/334448541 This is a great video. I often ask too many closed ended questions just in a different way seeking one answer. I need to turn my questioning around so they think pair share more. My second class has a lot of strong personalities and several students with special abilities, so they struggle with relating to each other. I was just researching ways to get them constructively talking. I think by asking more open ended questions on a specific topic and giving them time to think before responding may help. I just listened to this podcast (https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/language-makeover/) and I’m going to try some of these phrases to also help with my questioning in the classroom.
