Our entry ticket allowed us to think about the text we read on Friday with our partner. We shared what happened with the whole crew then based on our discussions ordered the events on our tables to recall these events. We then discussed the question, “Should Ali Baba have entered the cave?’ We explained our answers with our partner then the whole crew. There was some great discussion.
We then looked at the vocabulary that would appear in the text as we read, we made sure we were familiar with the language before we started to read. From here we started reading the next part of the text, we completed a chorus read, partner read and independent read. Mrs McClare really tried to model expression and fluency during the chorus read. Our reasons to read allowed us to demonstrate our understanding of the text and our exit allowed us to make predictions based on what the main character may do next! A great reading lesson MI.
