After attending the
following section at the July Summer Reading Institute with Shana Frazin, Close Reading of Texts: Teaching Kids to Monitor
for Sense, Infer and Interpret, I am determined to design my own reading and writing toolkits in
order to support my teaching during workshop. I am researching the web – looking high and low
– for examples to support my design. Shana shared her toolkits with us at the institute, which also
gives me an image of what I am working toward, but I still feel like I am a bit
confused about how to make the different elements of the toolkit more
interactive.
I will be posting here
the next few days to document my progress in making the kit. I think that I will design the kit around the
different units that punctuate the year. So I decided to start with Exploring My Reading
Life in September. I thought about the goals of the unit – studying ourselves
as readers, reading with volume and stamina, choosing books we’ll love and will
help us to grow, building stronger conversations around books and started designing charts with teaching points.
However, I am not sure if this is what I am supposed to do. I included some photos of this work in
progress. What are your thoughts,
readers?
