(FLEX) プライベートリテラシー家庭教師レッスン 2: ビバリー クリアリーの「ヘンリーとビーザス」

Throughout this flex course, learners will be guided to read one chapter of 'Henry and Beezus' over two weeks. Chapters vary in length and while you are invited to pace your reading over the two weeks, each week will have a specific focus (as seen in the Reading Schedule below). During the course of each week, a consistent schedule will be in place to nurture a steady, anticipated course pace full of comprehension pieces and text-to-self connections, by way of creative and directed writing.

* * * Any teacher-made printable work in relation to a writing/ artistic piece will be accessible at the beginning of that given week * * *

WRITING PROMPTS:

Each week will have a set writing prompt, with special focus on the assigned section of each chapter. Writing prompts may be opinion-based, rooted in text vocabulary, tasking work with inferences, predictions, text-to-self connections and more. 

'READ ALOUD VIDEO':

This portion of each week has the intention of showcasing learner independent reading and connections. It will consist of a specific task by the teacher to choose/ find/ discover reading excerpts that highlight a theme to verbally share via video. For example, a posted 'Read Aloud Video' task during Week 1: Ribsy and the Roast (focus on pages 1-22) can be: 'Find and read aloud a part of the chapter where you disagreed with a character. Then, explain why.'

ASSESSMENT: 

I will provide detailed, encouraging and thought supporting feedback to all weekly pieces, as well as a thoughtful response to each 'Read Aloud Video'. All feedback to writing prompts will be given by Tuesday of the following week. This course is centered around reading with purpose, for enjoyment, identifying text-to-self connections, learning new vocabulary and social situations, as well as strengthening our opinion and text-based writing -- all feedback will be centered in such.
