This weeks lesson focused on Dynamic and Emotional reading. As you can see from the pictures (student in orange and purple-- "off the floor") that we were having an energetic and exciting time making a familiar story,
The BFG, come to life! Together, Melissa and I modeled for the students a variety of ways to read text. We showed them what a "robotic" voice might sound like compared to using a voice filled with emotion. We also added some actions to our reading to really bring the phrases/paragraphs to life. Then the students were able to take what they learned and try it out too. They dug right in with their small group and went to work choosing which actions and emotions they would use for their paragraphs. They did fabulous for their first time "performing" in a small group for our class! We also spent some of our time together reviewing the 6 big questions (who, what, where, when, why and how) using a picture as a tool for doing careful noticing of details. The students loved sharing what they were noticing and what clues were in the pictures to support their inferences. Melissa and I worked very closely today, sharing the roles of co teaching. We seemed to effortlessly "take turns" supporting each other in our sharing of knowledge with the students.
