STAGE 2: TEACHING

DAILY AGENDA: WHAT WILL YOU USE TO MANAGE DAILY INSTRUCTION

WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING MAP SEQUENCE FOR DAY 1?

Introduction: Explanation (I DO)
What is Text?
What is a Literary Text?
What is a Question?
What is an Answer?

Demonstration 1: Coupled with Explanation (I DO)
Demonstration how students will cut and glue question/answer kids, to popsicle sticks.

Activity: (WE DO)
Students will cut out and glue question/answer kids, to popsicle sticks.

Check for Understanding: Students will use the question/answer kids on popsicle sticks to show if it is a question or answer. Teacher will first model. “Do you like apples?”, “I do not like apples”. As teacher says each, they will raise up their question or answer kid. This will be practiced multiple times until class feels comfortable and understands.

Explanation (I DO): How to Ask a Question. How to Answer a Question appropriately and the appropriate voice level for asking and answering questions.
Teacher will cover how to ask a question and how to answer a question appropriately. This means making eye contact with the person asking the question. Questions need responses that stay on topic and do not ‘tell a story’, but respond to the specific question that was asked. Voice level also needs to be addressed. What is the appropriate voice level for answering a question one-on-one and in a group setting. The same goes for asking questions.

Demonstration 2: Microphone Props (I DO)
Demonstrate how to use microphone props to model how a ‘reporter’ uses appropriate voice level when asking questions and how a ‘celebrity’ uses appropriate voice level to answer the specific question.

Paired Groups:
Students will use the microphone prop to take turns with their partner, asking and answering questions. Students will have a list of questions for the students to ask. As the students are working in partners teacher will move around the classroom observing for eye contact, voice levels, and appropriate questions and answers. Students will switch roles and continue until understanding is reached.

Students will have the opportunity to practice in front of the class if they feel comfortable.

WHAT MATERIALS WILL YOU USE?

1. Posters for Text, Literary Text, Question, Answer
2. Question Words
3. Question/Answer kids
4. Glue
5. Scissors
6. Microphones
7. Sample questions


How will you assess student learning?
Formative – Students will practice asking and answering questions with partners. I will walk around and check for understanding. The class will then come together as a group and I will monitor progress by facilitating the entire classroom in asking and answering questions.

Summative – Students will be able to demonstrate understanding by either practicing in front of the class, privately with an adult, or by filling out a graphic organizer (2019).
