Activator: What internal dialogue do you have when reading a text?
Definition of RT • Reciprocal Teaching refers to an instructional activity in which the students become the teacher in small group reading sessions.
Goals and Underlying Principles of RT • Encourages students to be mindful of their own thought process during reading. • Helps students learn to be actively involved and monitor their comprehension as they read. • Teaches students to ask questions during reading and make text more comprehensible • Structures an internal dialogue for students to actively engage in the content of the text. • Increases student comprehension of text.
Running the RT Protocol • Preparation • Whole class – explicitly teach each role • One role per class day –modeled aloud then use gradual release • Fishbowl – have one group model the process or show a video where the process is used.
Running the RT Protocol cont. • Divide your text into at least 4 manageable chunks • Protocol Preparation • Break the class into groups of 4 • Distribute role cards to each group member • Distribute text (pre-marked with stopping points) • Distribute RT worksheet
Running the RT Protocol cont. • Review the protocol and ask students to begin reading • When students reach the stopping point they realize their roles (and record responses on their sheet). • Members pass the cards to the right and read the next section. • Teacher monitors the groups’ progress and intervenes when necessary.
Running the RT Protocol Model • Fishbowl • or video then practice? • http://www.readingrockets.org/strategies/reciprocal_teaching/ break
Work Time – Running the RT Protocol • In your groups, run the RT protocol with at least one text – goal is for everyone to experience each role.
Closer • What are the benefits and challenges to implementing RT in your classrooms? • Additional PD • Edmodo – reflections and discussions The code to join the group is: ou2wy8 • Production of additional lesson plans • Production of lesson plans reflecting RT • May 29- Showcase
