assignment

Due Date: 11:59 pm EST Sunday of Unit 5 Points: 100 Overview: In this assignment you will choose a picture book and spend time practicing the thinking strips strategies. Instructions: Choose a story to read aloud to a child or a peer or family member. While you are reading, be sure to do some think aloud. Ask questions about the book that will help the listener connect with the story by using their five senses. Ask the child (or person) to draw five pictures of events that he remembers from the story. You can create your own version of a thinking strip. Ask the child to use the strips to retell the story and together, come up with the big idea the story is trying to convey. Requirements: Submit a video showing you reading the book and asking the questions and doing the drawings. This assignment can be done in two different parts with the planning of the book, think alouds and questions first and then the video of you reading the book, with think alouds and questions included in the reading. Next, ask the child or person to use the thinking strips to retell the story. Finally, submit the thinking strips as a PDF with a summary of how the child responded to this strategy. Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.
