Think Aloud Analysis
What is being taught/addressed: This video is discussing a technique that can be used to help students with the 5th pillar of reading, comprehension. The teacher in this video is modeling how to do a think aloud to her students. The teacher explains how she stops at every heading to predict what will happen in the next section and reflect on what happened in the section they that was just completed. She also explained how helpful illustrations in text are to being able to figure out what is happening in a text. The teacher expresses how important it is to model technique first, so that all students have an example of what they are expected to do when they are using the technique independently. The think aloud strategy being used in this video is a great way for students to be able to improve their comprehension.

This video also made me think of the section in the text book that discusses Think-Alouds. The text book goes in to great detail the importance and effectiveness of Think-Alouds. The text book also discusses how Think- Alouds can be used in for different source of text, for example navigating the web. This example is the one that the textbook discussed on page 299 in great detail by providing a dialogue between a student and teacher. The text book provided a great amount of information on how to use Think-Alouds in the classroom. I believe that Think-Alouds are a great resource for students since it provides them with a model of how they should read and modeling has been proven to be very effective when teaching students. All the information that was discussed about Think- Alouds was on pages

    Sociocultural Perspective Analysis

    While designing any lesson plan, it is important to keep in mind that what is being done in the classroom affects students when they get out into the real world. Thus educators must prepare students to not only be able to learn on their own but also to feel empowered to do so. Hence, it is important to take into consideration the sociocultural perspectives in order to ensure one is not simply domesticating students for a job. Further, when specifically teaching about comprehension, as with anything, it must not be assumed that students know how to complete a task. Rather educators must focus assignments around comprehensions skills as well as content in order to appropriately teach students the discourse of a particular subject.…

    If I Ever Get Out Of Here Analysis

    6.3 billion people are culturally diversified in the world. A culture consists of countless multicultural components consisting of values, beliefs, attitudes, and customs. Culture can transform anyone. There are many examples of different cultures. For example, culture can be expressed by language, clothing, their house, religion, and much more. Authors communicate their cultural differences through books to show what it is like to live in a specific culture. Throughout my first book, If I Ever Get Out Of Here, each character had different cultural components to their life. Lewis Blake , one of the main characters, lives through life challenges every day. He is not blessed with things that most people have. For example,his house is caving in,…

    Jayden's Writing Strategies

    Prior to this, Jayden would have watched already a YouTube video clip, Introduction to Reading Skills: Identify main idea and supporting details (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42SJTk2XSi4) as a motivation activity. However, I found out that using the YouTube video clip in explaining our lesson made Jayden even more attentive. In fact, he was more attentive to the video clip than to me asking him scaffolding questions during his video guided practice. The positive part I experienced in developing this lesson was the easiness of using the text box as a writing strategy. It was just easy for me to create the text box template because I simply I changed the original label of the first column from Notes to Details and the original labels of the second column from Reflections and Questions to Main Idea and Possible Title,…

    In all writings you might come along rhetorical elements such as ethos, logos, and pathos; the backbone of writing. The rhetoric in a piece of writing is the aspect of writing or speaking effectively and fluently. Judy Brady, the author of “ Why I Want a Wife” portrays to the audience exceptional uses of ethos, logos, and pathos in her writing to show the busy schedules many house wives have to conquer, and goes into great detail how husbands expect their wives to accomplish every task.…

    Phonological Awareness In Spoken Language

    All reading instruction should serve the purpose of increasing comprehension (Lane, 2014). The mental process of comprehension begins before a child starts to read and continues throughout the entire reading process. The role of the educator in teaching comprehension is to model, share, guide and apply strategies whilst gradually releasing the responsibility onto the child. This begins with the educator demonstrating and explaining strategies, then scaffolding and encouraging the child to participate, practice and apply the strategies across all curriculum areas (PTSD, n.d.). According to (Department of Education WA, 2014) comprehension strategies are explicitly taught to emergent readers to develop their understanding of texts. Examples of these strategies are previewing and summarising. Previewing encourages children to make predictions about the text; it can also pique their interest. Children taught to summarise, can learn to determine the essential ideas within the text, intern furthering their comprehension skills (Department of Education WA,…

    Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking Analysis

    In society today, generally people are taught to put a lot of thought into the decisions we make through deliberation, and also taught to consider the future consequences or benefits of a decision. From a young age, parents, teachers, and other adults in society teach children to "never judge a book by its cover," in terms of many aspects of life, which range from judging particular situations to making judgements about other people. Malcolm Gladwell's main idea in his book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, contradicts the saying. Instead, Gladwell theorizes that in many situations, a person's initial 3-second "snap" judgement with minimal information is more accurate than a decision made through long deliberation and gathering a large amount of background information.…

    Literal Analysis

    The phrase “people are just people,” can be interpreted in two very different ways, and this was especially true during the 1920s and 1930s. In Willard Motley’s “The Almost White Boy,” both interpretations come in to play. Jimmy’s father tells him that “people are just people” to reinforce the idea that all people are equal, regardless of their skin color. However, after being spurned by Cora, Jimmy comes to realize that people are just people, and they will resist change or being different, even if it fractures relationships or causes great pain to someone else. Despite falling into the latter category, Cora is not a villain, but is actually a victim of societal pressure, familial pressure, and her own expectations.…
