Exploring a new text in MI

Today MI was introduced to a new text in our reading lesson. We used an image to think about what we notice, what the image reminded us of, what we would like to know and then we thought about what may happen in the text. There was some great and interesting conversations which challenged our thought process. We then used a variety of strategies to read the text, thinking about the pace of our reading but ensuring we were fluent. As we read, we thought about some of the vocabulary. We used a range of strategies to unpick some of the more challenging language and applied definitions to our own text. This then helped us with our next activity. We worked in mini crews to build a vocabulary jigsaw where we had to match different words to their definition. A great job by all 🙂
