Reading strategy!!
Hello everybody!!
How can we
use the reading strategies?
-We can do activities and use techniques to develop
the children's motivation.
-The use of distinct materials and resources to
facilitate their understanding.
-The changes in the
voice of the characters to differenciate them and comprehend their roles.
Are you
ready to know my reading strategy?
This reading strategy is called ''Pick a corner''.
The teacher selects four corners, associating them
four posters.
The posters are related to the children´s opinions, in
this case, with the statements:
I AGREE.
I DISAGREE
I STRONGLY AGREE
I STRONGLY DISAGREE
Firstly, the teacher says a statement, then children
have to go the corner which they think that it is the correct according with
their thinking or feelings. Later, students discuss about why they have elected
their options with their mates who are in their same corner and finally, they
explain to the rest of the class their elections.
What do
you think about this strategy?
FROM MY
POINT OF VIEW…
On one hand,
they make use of this strategy in class is a good idea, because students can
express their own opinions of an individual way.
Also, they can contrast with other partners their
ideas and thoughts to improve them.
Also, it can be
used in different subjects and forms,
On the
other hand, in this strategies children can carried along by other student's
opinions therefore, they have not in mind their own decisions due to they feel
attracted to their mates.
How can
you use it in class?
I will use
this strategy in a mathematical class to improve the mental operations and
calculation of childen. I will explain my students that I am going to use three
corners and in each of them, I am going to designate a poster:
IT IS
CORRECT!
IT IS
INCORRECT!
I AM NOT
SURE
Firstly,
they will close their eyes to think and operate in silence, secondly, children
are going to write their option in a paper and finally, the will go to their
corner. The teacher will prove if children are in the correct place before
sharing opinions.
They will
share their ideas with their group, and then with the rest of the class.
What do you think?
BYE, SEE YOU SOON!

ResponderEliminarHi Jessica!!
ResponderEliminarI have watched your video of Reading strategies, and I think this is a good way to do different activities in class that will motivate the children and their participation.
While I was also Reading your comments, I was thinking the same that you... if there is a child who is not sure about his answer, he will probably observe where corner their mates go, and he is going to go to the same place also. Trying to avoid this, in my opinion your suggestion (of writing first the answer in a paper), would be successfully. Moreover, it is a way for the teacher to check who knows the contents or which student needs support; it is a good way of assessing the students!
As you have said, this type of exercise could be used in most of the subjects as a way of assessing, not only in maths. For example in Sciences, the teacher could ask some contents of the lesson using the corners!
In my opinion, these corners could also have some answers for the questions, instead of only sentences like "I agree" or "I disagree", in depends of the question and the subject.
I think it is a really good post, and I agree with you!
