Fire hose analogy – feedback says
Slow growth analogy for days session: build from our roots: work through a reading lesson sequence – build knowledge about reading, use new knowledge to understand text, show what your knowledge has helped you understand
• What did you try after last session?• What did you struggle with after last session?• What are you hoping for today?Share from networking. Remind participants that they have the roots needed to grow. Good classroom relationships, understanding of their students as writers, understanding of writing and how students learn.- Add to your roots bubble – one or two things you are building on so that students read with understanding in your classroom
When a good reader looks at a text, what kinds of things do the attend to in order to understand what they are reading?Brainstorm list on your stalk bubble. Hand out Cues and Conventions cards – teacher lingo and student activities/ideas – match the cards. Discuss with a partner. Where do you agree/disagree.Define Cues – cues are the signposts in our reading which point us in a particular direction (a title is a signpost telling us what the text is likely to be about)Define Conventions – conventions are good manners, these are context dependent (a salutation in a letter varies according to the audience eg. Hey in an email to a friend, Dear Sir, in an email to an unknown potential boss) Hand out Curr guide table. Check your work.Cues and conventions in written text. Give teachers a text. Identify in the text some of the cues/conventions your students might need to know about to understand this text. (animals books)

Reflect and Poll – Fishbowl – watching each other teach is a powerful way for us to learn together but it is only a good strategy if people are feeling safe to try it. I want to make sure that we have opportunities to learn together. We may need more time to grow before we take the opportunity to watch other. I want us to make the best use of our half days in Dec/Jan. So I need your feedback – what’s your comfort level are you feeling ready for a risk or do you need more time to grow? http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/xRWKRfyh8tT2eTE/web
