Bent: Has been working on speech with them all year. Used the iPad to work on hearing their speech. Has worked on readers' theatre with the students. Students were really connected to their characters, so they were more open to speak.
Authentic Student Work: Video of readers' theatre. Alexander & The Terrible, Horrible, Nogood Very Bad Day. The work was fluency, not on acting.
Observations:
(T) - Able to read and write, and listen, but his speaking is incomprehensible. Can't pronounce TH, T, K sounds. And he says 'D' for 'T'. Doesn't finish endings of words. "My mom was say" not "my mom was saying".
(R) - Only one that didn't get really into it, and so his fluency wasn't as good. Can't pronounce the 'F', can't say P, he says B. Real challenge, because he is too cool for school.
(J) - Super enthusiastic. Excited. Fluent and expressive. Good intonation. Animated.
Next Steps:
Choose a letter or letter combination with each of them that they are working on. Find words, have them read them. Show them how to say those words. Have them work on different letters.
Story Idea:
Students are given a picture from a David Wiesner book (interesting, picture-only fantasy book). They get to dictate a story, which then becomes a readers theatre that they will perform.
Next Time:
Tammy will share math with grade 5s.
Tammy will share (B) and (K)s work.
Tammy will share about her reading group with other grade 6s.
Mike will share something.
Claire is trying to work on numbers and letters with (D).
