Personal Literacy Story

Brainstorm ideas (four at least) that could be the focus of your Personal Literacy Story. They should be important enough that you feel the person, text, or event has had an impact on you as a literate being.

A few people will share but keep these ideas for next week’s work

1. Discussion roles: facilitator + participants.2. Questions – please write your best discussion

question on a sticky note.3. Whole group discussion4. Small group discussion5. Whole group discussion6. Evaluate facilitator & peers (not today)

My Readaloud – The Dot

Book choicePaceVolumeEnthusiasmInteraction with audienceBook display

Choose a piece of children’s literature and plan a readaloud that includes:

1. What you will do with students BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER reading

2. One or two critical questions to be considered and posed

You may also use this time to practice a readaloud in a small group or by yourself.

Consider video-taping yourself reading aloud to work on your competence and comfort.
