Module 2

 

Powerpoint- Strategic Reading Lessons.

I felt the powerpoint was very informative. It helped me understand the different ways that teachers can help improve a child fluency and comprehension. The power point provided a flex grouping which grouped the students based on a strategy that they needed to work on. The different strategies helped improved a certain target to fit every students needs. To help with the reading comprehension, it focused more on literature circles and guided reading. I have always loved literature circles. My students love doing them too. They loved talk about the book and relating to the book. I think this provided great lesson ideas and it will really help me with doing the lessons for my tutoring student

Literacy Content reading and scaffolding

I found this powerpoint very useful. It was full of ideas and resources that will help any teacher be successful in the classroom. I like how it has websites and resources for us to use. The running records we use in our class every day. Overall I think this was a great PowerPoint and helps me focus more on the specific steps of reading.

Video 1- I really liked watching this video. If eel that watching a video always helps provide a better visual in the classroom. I constantly work hard at differentiating in instruction. I feel that his is a challenge for me and other students. I think this video helped give me a clear understanding how to differentiate instruction that will help improve and meet the child needs. This will also help when working in the classroom because I differentiate all instruction for all my kids which is called flex grouping. I always do this before the CRCT to help them review and better understand what they personally don’t understand when given practice test.

Video 2- I think this video focused more on the history of differentiated instruction. It gave us a better understand of what differentiate means. It also helped us understand why it is important in the classroom. The teacher in the video has a class that was on different levels. She had to find the way to meet fall of the students in the classroom. This can be tricky for any teacher at times. At the school I teach at we are always doing flexible grouping. I think that it is great if it is done correctly.
