o I would display a list of sentences found in, Big Bear Lack on the board that contained nouns, verbs and adjectives. o Once the activity was set up, I would guide the students through the activity.

• After completing the summarizing chart and the parts of speech activity as a class, we would create a brief summary for Big Bear Lake with using the nouns, verbs and adjectives we found in the parts of speech activity.
• Once the summary was completed, I would move onto the next section of the book, A Good Smelly Hike. During this section, we would complete the same steps as, Big Bear Lake; however, the students would have more independence with completing the steps (I would have the steps on a checklist the students could reference to). I would give the students more independence by completing the same steps in groups of four. However, I will still guide the groups through the steps and provide instant

    It is through my personal education that I will receive the necessary tools to create a thriving classroom. I will accomplish this by studying and understanding good reading instruction, goals for student learning, teaching methods and assessment practice. First, I must define reading instruction for myself and my students. “There’s no one best way to teach reading and writing; instead, teachers create a balanced literary program using two or more approaches.” (Tompkins, 2014 p.327)…

    Throughout the time that I have spent within my field placement, the teacher has allotted various small increments of time for vocabulary. The teacher usually spends less than five minutes discussing vocabulary that the students will see in a new book or when there is a question about a new vocabulary word. If the teacher is introducing multiple new words, she will spend between ten to fifteen minutes introducing the words, explaining the definitions of the words (and explaining which definition fits the best for the circumstance), and allowing students to make connections with the words. Once the teacher introduces the new words, she puts the new words on the word wall. This allows the students to reference the word wall throughout the day.…
