So for this week you should have one thread regarding the readings/websites, one with examples and discussion of the examples from you cooperating teacher about phonics and phonemic awareness, and one your field work. So that is three all together. I hope this helps explain what is needed for this week. My schedule this week is crazy so you are welcome to try to call but it will be hit or miss Monday - Thursday and then I am pretty accessible!
Good Morning,
I thought maybe we would try doing some things a bit different from the module for this Learning Topic. Let me know what you think and if you feel anything is not productive for you or that you would like to delve more deeply into something.
Please have your field hours arranged. The module/ guide/ syllabus (all different names for the same document) outlines what is to be done during the field hours but serves more as a guide. Some of your work may take place in other weeks and that's okay.
Weeks Beginning Sept 25: 1) Please discuss the readings from the module and review the websites from the module on the wiki. 2) Please review the expectations for your toolkit and update the wiki. 3) Please begin a discussion (for numbers 3-5 in the module) of samples from your cooperating teacher of a phonological and/or phonemic awareness assessment and teaching materials (if possible you could scan some of these so we could view what you have seen and/or worked with) to share with your peers and include in your toolkit. (If you are working with older children and your teacher does not directly assess or instruct his/her students in the area of phonics and phonemic awareness-ask your cooperating teacher how phonics and phonemic awareness are addressed at your grade level when necessary and share your notes and samples, if applicable, of this.) Also include in the above discussion your observation of a reading assessment and share your experiences and observations with the administration of a variety of Reading Assessments. With your cooperating teacher please review phonological awareness skills, scope and sequence, progression, and classroom applications. Include this information in the above discussion. 4) In a newsletter or brochure (or other) shared via wiki please discuss how to use and present this information to parents and for parents to support their children at home. This is not a discussion-just your presentation of the information shared with your peers. 5) In a separate post please discuss your field work from the previous two weeks.
If I have forgotten anything please let me know.
