11/27 During today’s lesson, we focused on doing some final edits on Ryne’s Gold Rush piece. I started today out by having Ryne write about his Thanksgiving break for about five minutes. When Ryne was done writing, we shared our writings with each other. It sounds like Ryne had a very exciting break! We then took one last look at his Gold Rush paper. We did this by working through an informational writing checklist. I read through the list and had Ryne think of if he had completed the task or not. He did a fantastic job of exampling to me whether or not he thought the task was completed. I am extremely proud of the all work Ryne had put into this paper and I hope he is happy with how it turned out.
11/28 Today, our focuses were on completing a KWL chart and starting to do research on Ryne’s new informational topic. During today’s lesson, Ryne and I started to talk about his new informational topic, electricity. We did this filling out a KWL chart. A KWL chart lists what one knows about a topic, that they want to learn about the topic, and then what they have learned about the topic. Since this topic is new to Ryne, he didn’t know a whole lot about it. In the want to know section, Ryne was able to list a lot of topics he wants to learn about while researching electricity. The last section, learned, will be filled in after all of Ryne’s research is complete. Since we had a few minutes left, we started to gather information to include in the paper.

• I started out the lesson by explaining to Ryne what we would be doing for the day. He got distracted and wanted to talk about what we both did over the long weekend. After talking for a few minutes, I redirected Ryne’s attention back to the lesson. I started talking about the writing process and how we would be writing goals to help Ryne finish his Gold Rush paper. While explaining when the paper needed to be done by, Ryne got confused and asked a few questions about the schedule.

Your Task- Look over the “checklist” of indicators and choose an area of personal interest to discover. Make sure that your discovery/research/independent learning addresses your listed learning indicators. Plan on presenting or displaying a product that demonstrates your learning on the evening of June 2nd at the Community Barbeque from 5-6:30 pm.
Students will move to their desks and complete an activity in their literacy books in which they will document their original prediction for page four, the piece of prior knowledge or visual clue that assisted most in making the prediction and how their prediction differed from the actual text content.

Today, I went through the learning Guide of this course to identify what is needed to be done. After which, I began reading chapter four of the textbook but had some challenges there.
Over the course of the semester, I have been fortunate enough to work with a student who is having difficulties when it comes to reading. My student does not have difficulties when it comes to hearing a word, but rather when he sees a word. My student has definitely benefited from one on one work with me as well as the additional help he’s getting from the reading specialist during their WIN (what I need) time. My student does not like to read because he knows that he is struggling and he is embarrassed about it. When my student goes to his WIN time, he does really well because the instruction is at his level and there are only two other students who are also on the same level there as well. Besides the current intervention, programs I would recommend are Direct Instruction: Reading Mastery, Letter Spacing, Wilson Reading System and the Lindamood program (LiPS).
