1. Grade level-3rd grade, Content-reading story in small groups and then discussing how students made connections 2. To read aloud sections of the chapter within the small group to practice oral reading skills and reading strategies. 3. see attached. 4. Based on my anecdotal records I can see each ability of each of the students. Sarah- needs to be more specific when retelling and make connections. She used some examples to make connections. She seemed nervous when talking in small group. I can assume she was confused or unsure of this concept. Jessica -made good text to text connections and was the only one who didnt use text to self connections. She was confident when speaking and repsonding. I can assume she understand this concept, but maybe was unclear how to relate the events in the story to other things besides other text. Chris-Discussed visualizations and how the use of strategies helped him understand the story. From his response and participation in group discusson I can assume he understans how to effectively use this strategy. 5. N/A 6. One recommendation for future instruction regarding the entire class would be to review and model how to make connections when reading. 7. Sarah-discuss that connections need more details, they are too generalized. work with her one on one to improve strategy. Jessica- help her make connections other than text to text, because she has already mastered that. Chris-help work on other strategies while reading.
