Debrief+of+Jessica's+Lesson

Things to Use: Incorporate centers (bookmaking) into the lesson Different versions of the same story, illustrations Venn diagram to make explicit the similarities/differences between two texts Adults probably get deeper than kids would--so good element for workshop for adults Use story we're familiar with--so we can go deeper both with analysis and the creation of our own story Multiple extensions Great element to show children's performance--and make concrete a culminating activity Power of collaborating with colleagues Performance includes high frequency words Really rich stories Use different versions of stories in secondary classes too (usually theme across different texts) College--differences in Arthurian legends Use with Claudette Colvin: book and play version; repeated readings deepens understanding Use picture books to teach science concepts, too--perhaps incorporate writing assignments with this Use as prelude to understand repetition in more sophisticated works, too (MLK, "I Have a Dream" speech)

Possible adjustments: Maybe find different cultural adaptations for older kids Jump into activity--push rationale to the end Flash standards maybe at first but don't read through until end (if at all) High frequency words--show us how this works Do storyboard first or mention that she has a staple remover and removes and adds new pages when necessary
