Chapter 5
As I talked to about in my ver first post, I absolutely believe in allowing all students to share their work. They worked so hard it, why would I take away there fame by not allowing them to share it with others. I understand its almost impossible to let every student share everyday, but I used the Kagan structure Round table to make time so that all students can share. They each get one minute to share and the team members get 30 seconds to praise or share something they liked. It is Awesome and I recommend any teacher to use it to allow all students to share their work. I love the concept of mystery message to grab students attention. This was a great chapter!

I'd like to hear more about the Kagan Round Table. I am not familiar with it, and it sounds like a useful tool.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do about kids who are shy or otherwise reluctant to share? Is everyone required to, do they get a pass every now and then, or what? Some of my 3rd graders would ask me to read their work while they stood beside me.
I am with you on the importance of sharing! I think it's even important for adults. I try to build sharing into this class and the other classes I teach, although it can be tricky at times. Sharing forces the writer to think about others and takes writing to a higher level.

ReplyDeleteI would love to know more about the Kagan Structure, because I think that would work great in my room. I want my kids to share their work, but sometimes they just go on and on. By setting time limits I feel like I am restricting them, but if I get them used to it early, they may enjoy it. Great idea!
