Wordless Wednesday 5.28.14
Do you have your students share their writing with the class? If so, what are some ways that you have them share? Here we are sharing our poetry imitating a 1960's poetry reading at a coffee shop: low lighting, a stool on a stage, and clicking our fingers instead of clapping... my kiddos LOVE this!!!!!

Sometimes, I provide treats like popcorn or cookies! Students share 2hips and 1 hooray, too (all positive comments!).
ReplyDeleteDo you have them write their comments or share them aloud? I think this is cute!

What a great idea!!! When my Kinders share their writing, it is all about putting on a show. They love using the document camera to feature their work on the Promethean board as they read!

I would LOVE to have a document camera. Lucky students!!!

We have a round rug at the front of the room as a kind of spotlight and then all say/shout 'lights, camera, action' (with actions) to make it a special moment. Love the poetry reading idea.

LOVE it! Sounds like fun and really motivating for your kids.
DeleteHave a great week,

When I had a regular class we had Poetry Cafe. Kids would sign up for a day and time and during the poetry readings I would serve treats. What made it really fun is that I would get out my box of hats and scarves and the kids would wear them! Mind you, the hat or scarf chosen would have nothing to do with the poem- just fun.

Teachers Are Terrific!
How creative! And FUN!!! I really like how the kids schedule their reading. I will be borrowing this for sure!

I need to be more creative with my sharing. I absolutely love the "coffee shop" readings. Thank you for a great idea!

You are VERY welcome, Mary!
DeleteThis sounds fun! With my first graders I usually walk around as they're working and try to pick good examples of various things (good punctation, capitalization, vivid verbs). It's fun to vary what were showcasing because it helps all of the kiddos (even the struggling writers) feel confident that they are doing something great! I'll generally have them share using the ELMO and then ask the class what they think the student did great. Then we cheer! Happy summer!
