Think Sheet March 2014

The learning goal related to my area of Inquiry/Inquiry Question is:
Inquiry Question:
How can engaging students in Story Plays provide a more preventative and developmental approach to intervention that focuses on early literacy foundations, oral language skills and collaborative learning experiences? 
Learning goals:
Students develop structured narratives with beginning, middle, end, use storybook language, and work collaboratively with their partner.

My routine data source is:
I have been collecting data throughout the Story Play process, looking at the content of their work (story drawings and dictation) as well as the process they engage in as they collaborate in developing a story together (video recordings of collaboration).

Demonstrating Success: Reflect on what evidence you see in the routine data source that tells you how your student is or is not progressing on the indicators.






Notes from Discussion: 
Storytelling skills, oral language, collaboration.
beg, mid, end.
storybook language.
working together, leading/following.
continuum--novel story-->yes it’s novel, does it make any sense-->add on to somebody elses?-->might not be able to name it but can do it -> can name it, do it explicitly, using the anchor chart, leader in making story that makes sense
-->own story not integrate with your partner.
Do kids naturally move at each point on the spectrum? Is it sequential?a

Working with partners is helping her to move on the continuum.
Lower level students need the teacher to name the thing that they’re
Incidental vs intentional

What I am Thinking NOW:
I’d like to refine the spectrum, can place kids in different places on it.  is it an axis? I should make an axis of story content with collaboration skills.  
Clarity vs. collaboration

I would like to develop this continuum or axis of skills and then see where my students fall along it, and how they move throughout the year. Assessment rubric?

Story skills: 
Random string of events
Events in order but missing pieces or no transitions, storybook language
