I’ve had a lot of requests and questions about literacy center time aka Daily Five! Today I will be focusing closely in on your word work baskets! Next week we will dig deeper into a different daily five choice! In my classroom I have four word work basket! I have implemented independent literacy centers. Cars have wheels so they can roll down the road… cars can’t float!” I know that all sounds a little dramatic but trust me… we have to start somewhere! Teaching kids this early to use evidence from texts will make WORLDS of difference for them in the later grades! So, we want to offer them an opportunity to take that more basic statement and back it up some evidence, “I know that boats transport us in the water because boats can float! I see that the boats don’t have wheels so they wouldn’t be able to drive down the road. Below you can see the essential questions written on the board! You will notice I reworded the essential question slightly! I have explained before but there are always two essential questions each… one skill-based and one life-based! The skill-based question should be a question that is open ended and offer students an opportunity to express EVIDENCE and PROVE their thinking! For this week’s essential question we want students to be able to compare two of the modes of transportation! A generic, more basic answer would be, “Boats are in the water and cars drive on roads.” Although that answer is true… it doesn’t require much evidence from the book because they most likely have known that statement for years.
