Day 6

June 10th, 2014 The two things most helpful today was the Jigsaw "activity" (explanation of it) and, the information about the TBL grouping activity. I would like to use the Jigsaw activity when it comes to culture information, every student in groups of 1-4 will read different sections of a country like tourism, economics, food, education and then they will meet with the experts of each group and, at the end they will come back with their group home. The TBL activity will be awesome for non-fiction reading like an article for example, students will read and article assigned about Brazil Soccer World Cup 2014 an then take an assessment about it. The literacy strategy that I learned today is the Quick REACH vocabulary toolkit, this strategy is new to me and it looks like very helpful, students can read informational text and use the strategy to learn new vocabulary, for example when it comes to grammar information, like Ar- verbs endings, students will read the information presented in 3 parts (chunks)and they will write the words that they are not familiar with, then they will write the name of the tool that they used to look up for the meaning (Resource, Electronic, Association, Clues, Help)and write what is the meaning.
