  3. Today’s Outcomes • Participants will reflect and examine current teaching practices to analyze structures that are habitual and structures that are intentional. • Participants will write mini-lessons that are appropriately placed and connect to the larger body of work. • Participants will understand the significance of architectural integrity and will be able to design mini-lessons with this in mind.

  7. Questions to ask while analyzing discourse . . . • Who is talking? • How does the conversation build? • What are the structures that are occurring? • Are there set procedures? • Teacher’s role? • Student’s role? • What is the tone? • Conversational Patterns?

  9. Analyze Connectivity and Placement • What unit and/or unit goals might this mini lesson be a piece of? • Where in the sequence did this lesson take place? • What teaching has already happened prior to this one mini lesson? • What does she do to connect this mini lesson to something larger than this moment? Analyzing Point of View in Persuasive Texts

Mini Lesson Look-Fors • Mini-lesson is focused, 10-15 minutes, and has a clear learning objective/teaching point. • The teacherconnects new learning to previous learning/ experiences. • There is one clear teaching point. • Theteachergives and gathers information through modelingand/or using literature. • Students have an opportunity to try out the new work during the mini-lesson (active engagement). • Discourse during active engagement is encouraged through turn and talk and/or written response. • Teacher ends the mini-lesson with a link. • Teaching/strategies are documented during the mini-lesson (ie. anchor chart). Students have continual access to expectations and strategies. • Mini-lesson connects to the written curriculum of the given unit.
