In my master classroom I am currently working on a
schema building lesson plan where I am having the students complete a series of
activities in order to stimulate the experience of a group in order for them to
draw connections between their novels and their own lives. In order to comprehend
entirely what we read as teacher candidates it is always beneficial to
experience firsthand what we are taught, just like my students and their novel.
After completing I
Read It but I don’t get it by Cris Tovani about how teachers can help
students develop new reading comprehension skills, we follow our reading by
using one of the access tools for our own reading. By experiencing the tools we
will have a better understanding for teaching them to our students. The access
tool that I chose was the “double-entry diaries”. Students will use this tool
in order to connect direct quotes from their reading to ideas such as “I wonder”,
“I visualize”, “This reminds me of”, etc.
The Boy in the Striped
Pajamas by John Boyne
Direct quote and page number
1.
“Why are there so many people on that side of
the fences?” he asked, “And what are you all doing over there?”
2.
“I’ve never spoken to him,” said Bruno
immediately. “I’ve never seen him before in my life. I don’t know him.” (172)
3.
“He looked into the distance then and followed
it though logically, step by step by step, and when he did he found that his
legs seemed to stop working.” (214)
I wonder…
1.
If Shmuel understood why he and so many other
people were fenced in.
2.
What would have happened to Bruno if he told
Lieutenant Kotler the truth about their friendship.
3.
If the dad knew what his son was going through
would he have done things differently in his career/family/life.
