I tend to be a reader who reads,
jots, flags, and underlines all at once and then has to go back and figure out
where the important bits really are. My reading of the Writing Pathways from Lucy
Calkins units of study has been no different.
I realize though that busy teachers need a quick reference guide. I’ve started a list of critical pages to
review along the way and I’m going to have teachers write them down inside
their books. For example:
Narrative on-demand assessment pages 19-22, 182, 183
Teachers can always go back and reread the in between pages
during those lovely summer days that are now just a memory for summer 2014!
That is a wonderful scaffold for teachers as they begin to navigate Pathways. I am doing on demand assessment with three K teachers and gave them just them a chapter to read. Then I wrote a lesson plan and put it on Google Docs to share with them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a wonderful way to help us all remember where the important parts in the text can be found. Thanks for sharing this idea, Kelley.
