Access Point One: Purpose and Modeling Access Point Two: Close and Scaffolded Reading Instruction Access Point Three: Collaborative Conversations Access Point Four: An Independent Reading Staircase Access Point Five: Demonstrating Understanding and Assessing Performance
What’s Our Purpose for Module 4? • Understand the value and necessity of student peer interaction in collaborative learning. • Analyze the differences in grade-level expectations in Speaking and ListeningStandard Anchor 1 in CCSS. • Look closely at the essential indicators and key elements of collaborative learning structures. • Explore the most effective collaborative learning structures to support students in accessing complex texts: • literature circles • discussion roundtables • reciprocal teaching • collaborative strategic reading
Is a critical linchpin in the process of assessing complex texts Supports student learning in the absence of the teacher Provides opportunities for students to apply skills and strategies Allows for authentic practice of academic language Collaborative Learning
“According to this standard, students have to discuss the complex texts they have been reading. Not only will this aid them in comprehending the text, but it will also provide them with practice in critical thinking, argumentation, and using evidence in their responses.” Frey, N. ,& Fisher, D. (2013). Rigorous Reading: 5 Access Points for Helping Students Comprehend Complex Texts. Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin .
Collaborative Learning Quality Indicators • Rethink demanding content with new learning structures. • Use language frames to building academic language. • Remember that productive failure is good and healthy. • Maintain a level of academic rigor. • Consider task complexity and the degree of student engagement.
Collaborative Learning Key Elements • Post, teach, and revisit norms for interaction. • Group students heterogeneously. • Have students set goals. • Promote individual and group accountability.
One Final Note Through collaborations today you probably • Reread the text. • Talked with group members to analyze and synthesize meaning. • Used specialized (academic) language for this content. Isn’t this what we are asking our students to do? Reflect: • Did all your group members contribute to the task? • Did you contribute to the task?
