We also started our "metacognition" (thinking) strategy: asking Questions. A character showed up, Queen of Questions. She just LOVES asking questions. She modeled how we use asking questions to clear up when we don't understand what we read, or when we wonder about something we may not have read yet. We will be spending more time with the Queen of Questions. It is one of the "hats" we wear as a reader (more to come in future posts).
On Tuesday, we needed some scaffolding and tools to determine Main Idea and Details. It can be a complex comprehension strategy. Our goal as a reader is to understand what we read. Often, in third grade, everything we read sounds important. How can we determine the key ideas?! Focusing on the main idea and details can help. We made an anchor chart together in class.
Then Ms. Leom invited us to use our iPads to take a picture. She was going to change the screen to model our learning on a new text. With the picture of the notes on our iPads, we still had access. Standing up in the beginning of the lesson is a good way for us to get some movement in too!
