Videos from Reading Workshop

Today we talked about how quiet it needs to be during Read to Self and Partner Reading time during our Reading Workshop, in order to allow everyone to do their best reading work. We made a plan and practiced during the minilesson, and then I video recorded a bit of our reading times. We watched the video clips and assessed ourselves. We decided that the room sounded better during Partner Reading time and was a bit too noisy during Read to Self time. Such great self reflection! Everyone was so proud of themselves for having a GREAT Partner Reading session today. Wow! And the Flip video camera is a fantastic teaching/learning tool--it's quick and easy and gives immediate visual/auditory feedback.

I promised a couple of students that I would post these videos...
