Metacognitive Conversations and Three Parts of A Good Literacy/Learning Lesson EDC448 Dr. Julie Coiro
Today’s Objectives • Practice modeling a think-aloud mini-lesson with your “students” (8 min) > You Teach > They Notice > All Reflect (1 helpful idea you noticed your teacher did to support your comprehension of this difficult text) • Identify/Organize aspects of a three-part content-literacy lesson • Begin thinking concretely about your lesson plan assignment
Process Think-Alouds Lapp, Fisher, and Grant (2008) • 1. Choose a short section of text and decide on few strategies to highlight. • 2. State your purposes. • 3. Read text aloud and think-aloud (point out the mental moves you make; reveal your “inner voice”) about unfamiliar language, concepts, and text structures. • ** “deliberately planned to provide commentary and conversational support for comprehension, word study, and engagement by noting where students might need explanation, elaboration, or connection” (p. 90) • ** draw students into the conversation and capitalize on places they naturally experienced anticipation” (p. 94) > links to increases in comprehension & motivation • 4. Ask students to try it out with the next section, working in teams. Reinforce with follow-up lessons (I do, you watch/help; we do together; you do, I watch/help).
In your mini-lessons… • Practice modeling a think-aloud mini-lesson with your “students” (8 min) • You Teach (model and get your students ready for hard parts) 4 minutes • They Notice– 1 helpful idea you noticed your teacher did to support your comprehension of this difficult text) [2 min] – (Oh, I get it! So, you did ___ M&MDAVIS to help you figure out___
Group Reflections • Were you able to cover your content in this “metacognitive literacy lesson”? • Did the guide help you teach? How? Teach differently than you might usually? • What did you notice when you gave your students a chance to reflect out loud about what they learned? • How might you want the modeling / talking to change in your lessons as you move through the year?
Identify/Organize Three Parts of a Good Lesson • Refer to the template on your laptops • Work with your group to sort key components of a lesson plan into three parts (before, during, and after) • Be prepared to discuss and justify your decisions with the class
Homework • Read Beuhl Ch. 2 (with optional reading guide in your handout) to set the scene • Complete Blog Post #2 – which involves viewing & synthesizing across multiple sources about Text Discussions • #5 and #6 readings will help with your assignments (diverse texts and lesson plan)
