MORE READING FOR Group Time
Take It to the NET ONLINE
Camille Blachowicz
For activities to develop
vocabulary, see a summary of the
book Teaching Vocabulary in all
Classrooms by Scott Foresman
author Camille Blachowicz
and Peter Fisher.
TEACHING Tip Train early
finishers to pull out a book and read.
To make this a routine, at first allow
enough time with tasks that you
know everyone will finish early. If
work is neat and complete, they
can read.
TEACHER TALK
Explicit instruction is teaching in
which the teacher explains a skill
(what it is and when and why to use
it), models how to perform it, guides
practice, and offers independent
practice.
Be sure to schedule
time for students
to work on the unit
inquiry project "Natural
Wonders." This week students
analyze the information they have
found from Web sites or print
materials.
