Debrief Day - Let's finish up our conversations about reading habits and communication

Today's Goal:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.1.C
Pose and respond to specific questions with elaboration and detail by making comments that contribute to the topic, text, or issue under discussion.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.1.D
Review the key ideas expressed and demonstrate understanding of multiple perspectives through reflection and paraphrasing.


The Plan:

1. Read
2. Track Your Reading Debrief (Answer the questions at the bottom of the document and turn it in!)
3. #ReadersGottaRead Challenge Question #2
4. World Cafe Debrief (we're doing a lot of debriefing today.)
5. Value-Added Engagement - Respond to each other in Google Classroom

Reminders/Homework:

• READ over break. Go to your local library. Check an extra book out from me. 
• ALSO READ.
• Using your Value-Added Engagement notes, respond to TWO peer answers to the communication question addressed last class. 
• Use complete sentences, check your spelling, and use your skills to ADD thoughts and support each other's reflections.
• Turn in "Track Your Reading" assignment after you answer the questions at the bottom thoughtfully and in complete sentences.
• #ReadersGottaRead Challenge Question #2

Track Your Reading Debrief

As a reminder, tracking your reading as diligently as I have asked you to do this past week is not permanent. It is simply a way to reflect and build awareness around your reading habits. 

Let's take a few minutes to look at the challenges you faced with reading, the successes you found with reading, and what your next personal goal should be.

1. Complete the THREE questions at the bottom of the document and turn it in. The questions are about your reading habits, not about how easy or hard it was to do the tracking itself.
2. Once you do that, Answer Challenge Question #2 on our #ReadersGottaRead class.

World Cafe Debrief and Response

Last class, you visited nine stations to answer and build upon each others' ideas related to communication in the classroom. 

Today, you will return to your original question. As a group you will need to do the following and be prepared to use your voice to share the answers with the whole class. Everyone is expected to participate.

What to prepare:

1. Share and explain ideas that were present in the answers, particularly the unique ones that the class needs to hear about. (meaning you can hold them up, read them out, and explain what they mean)
2. How can these things help support our classroom communication?

Your homework last class was to respond to the question on Google Classroom.

We're going to talk about value-added engagement, and then your classwork/homework is to respond to TWO peers using the framework provided. It must be in complete sentences, check your spelling, and I am looking for value-added.

Last Note:

Y'all I'm going to be putting in quite a few grades over break. While I would hope that this is not a concern for most of you because you engage and participate and demonstrate your skills through the activities you do, the reality looks to be the opposite. I would suggest going through the blog and completing your work.
