This lesson is about the children understanding what type of reader they are, and once we have established this we can then go forward and find 'good fit' books for them to read.
What Kind of Reader are You?
The learning intention for this lesson was to discuss connections between the text and our life experiences.
It was also to work on how to choose a 'good fit' book to read independently and for personal enjoyment.
What a brilliant lesson, the children had so much fun. They were interested in the form, to begin with, and then to see them respond to the children in the video with such interest and detailed responses was great. They were able to identify reasons why certain quotes within the video related to them.
Looking at the group dynamic, I have some strong personalities who enjoy sharing and it would be good to hear from the quieter, more reserved children. This can be a next-step goal for me.
I look forward to the next lesson where we look at what they answered in the form and then look at the data and see the across the group the differences. This will be good to set some goals around this.
The success criteria for this week is spread across the week, but on reflection, it would have been good to have certain goals for the first workshop lesson of the week.
This is one of my reading workshop groups. These readers are ability-grouped occurring to their reading age. The children see me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and work independently on their work on the other days of the week. This is the first lesson of the week.
