It gives the students something specific to focus on during presentations.  Many students don't actively listen, so this will be a big help.  I will need to do some modeling with the chart before using it with student presentations, so students are comfortable with the form and it doesn't distract from listening to the presenter.","dateCreated":"1309722184","smartDate":"Jul 3, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"tdorn","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/tdorn","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"40672195","body":"What I discovered new that I would like to try from chapter 8 is to have more variety in the way students have shown their learning because I relied on summaries, letters, and KWL. I\u2019ll implement other experiences, such as writing poetry, making a brochure, making posters, writing a story, or creating an ABC book. I also liked how one teacher used a digital camera (technology) to create a book on forces and motion. I believe that this is more individualized for the students and addresses their strengths in the area of expressing themselves through literacy and with the content.  It also make the process much more creative and enjoyable","dateCreated":"1309901128","smartDate":"Jul 5, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"dbullock1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/dbullock1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"40885327","body":"I think this chapter exemplifies the necessity of connecting our literacy block with content areas..specifically science! I want to help teachers develop and plan their literacy blocks around their content areas.  I can help locate non-fiction books (maybe get some grants for this!), and help them develop work stations related to the content.","dateCreated":"1310931993","smartDate":"Jul 17, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"jlafayette","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/jlafayette","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"41152745","body":"This coming school year I am going to continue to teach thematically.  It is the only way that I can see all of the components working.  Two main items that I am wanting to focus on is presenting and unit summary.  <br \/>\n<br \/>\nI relied so much on whole group presenting of claims and evidence.  I think this is ok sometimes, but feel that it would be more powerful in smaller groups.  I think that the students would have time to go back and reflect more with their group and have more discussion.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs for the unit summary, I previously had a project that they worked on a writing piece, create a game board, poster, technology project.  As the year goes on in Science, I would like to release control and let them have student choice to express their understanding of the Big Idea.  Let them choose a project to show their understanding.  I would use the form on pg 123 as a rubric for their project, and we would discuss it in a student-teacher conference.","dateCreated":"1312231139","smartDate":"Aug 1, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"JPudenz","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/JPudenz","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"41281635","body":"This year I really want to give the students the opportunity to choose how they summarize and present their information.
