Reading Writing Day 24
Closure Make sure that students’ work has been saved and printed (two copies) if you are using computers. Tell students that they will be sharing their piece with the whole class the next day; if they printed two copies, one copy can go home for them to practice reading aloud. If they turned in their only copy, they can rehearse with their last draft. It is helpful to read to a friend or family member or even a mirror so they can practice making eye contact and projecting their voice.
What if? What if students don’t finish publishing? This time students have not had as many opportunities to share with their circle, so it’s important to have a whole class sharing session at the end. If necessary, you can take an extra day to finish publishing, and then shorten the celebration a little to allow time for the final reflection.
