Join Dr. Fisher as he invites you to reflect on the strategies you added to your T-Chart in the “Useful” and “Not So Useful” categories.
Day 22 is a day of reflection. You might want to move some from the “not so useful” category over to the “useful” category. Dr. Fisher also asks you to think about the last two strategies your tried out, Jigsaw and Reciprocal Teaching.
CLASSROOM TASK: REFLECTIONCLASSROOM TASK: REFLECTION
Today’s task has several parts. Update the T-chart of the “Useful” and “Not So Useful” strategies. Revisit your first reflection, your “Yes, But” reflection. Are there things you thought about earlier that weren’t going to work for you that are now working? Are there still areas that are concerns for you? Reflect on that and think about where you need to take your students. Thirdly, continue practicing collaborative strategies with your students.
This journal can be used to reflect on what you have learned as you develop strategies for engaging your students in collaborative conversations.
I wonder what’s working for you. It’s time to reflect on that. Remember that the strategies have to work for you and for your students.
