SIOP Day 3 Practice and Applications
• What kinds of hands-on practice have my students experienced?
• What kind of hands-on practice would you like to add?
Think about your last 90 minutes of instruction with your students. Estimate how many minutes your students spent:
• Listening
• Speaking
• Reading
• Writing
What activities did they do to practice and apply these language skills?
What skills were the students measuring for each other?
Considering the information we have just discussed, what would you continue to do the same and what would you try to change?

I would like to see a greater variety of supports employed to discover what works best for different students and classes. The students are required to listen closely approximately 40% of the time, speak 20%, reading 30%, writing 10%. The students spend more of their time assessing one another informally, but I would like to see rubric provided to guide their listening.
ReplyDeleteMy students are spending much more time reading and speaking. I need to extend the conversation into a daily scaffolded writing with a rubric. This will give the students the opportunity to engage in more peer to peer conversation.
ReplyDeleteI've been working on writing. I spent about 60% writing, 35% speaking and listening, and 5% reading. Before they start an assignment we always do one together as a whole group, then with partners and finally they will do one independently. My students work better when they can orally discuss what they are going to write and hear what others think before they start writing independently.
