Reading Day
Look At All We Learned Materials:
Objectives
• Any teacher/student created anchor chart such as the KWL or vocabulary charts • Student Handbooks • Text set books
Students will be able to: • Synthesize their learning with a partner; and • Present that information with a small group of students..
Preparation Create groups of 3 or 4 students, being sure that none have PRC2 partners in a particular group. This lesson will help student’s synthesize their learning about the particular theme studied and present it to others in the class.
Instructional Activities Minilesson Tell students that they will be synthesizing their learning for the past 6 weeks around the classroom theme. Have students sit with their partners and have each fill out the ‘Looking At All We Learned’ sheet in the Student Handbook. Remind them that they can look at the charts developed by the class, review the vocabulary they chose from the PRC2 content books, review with their partner the learning they experienced together, have them review the books they read pull out fun facts that they remembered, and write questions that they still have. Give them about 20 minutes to fill out the Look at All We’ve Learned sheet. Once they are done, have students sit in the groups that you created to share their information. Tell them that they will have about 3 minutes each to share what they learned with the rest of the group.
