Today I was both the student and
the teacher. The first group that presented was the Wondrous Words book club
and I thought they did a great job.
Their activity was interesting and something I’ve never seen
before. We did what they called “chorus
reading”. We picked a line out of
a text that stood out to us and then got into groups to put our phrases
together. Putting the phrases
together was very fun and it was interesting to see what everyone came up
with. Their ignite talk went well;
the only thing I would have done differently is to not have words on the PowerPoint. The words they had up there were what
they were saying and it distracted me from the speaker more than helping me
follow along.
My group had the book “Ladybugs,
Tornadoes, and Swirling Galaxies”.
I think our presentation went fairly well. The activity part got kind of hectic, but I hope everyone
understood what we were doing and why we were doing it. We didn’t really stick to our “parts”
we talked about, so while some input was good, it got really jumbled and
confusing at the same time. I
think it would have been better if we acted out our whole presentation as a
group to see how it would go, but it always goes differently with real students. Overall this was a great learning
experience for me.
