Sociogram – is a visual representation of relationships among characters in a literary text. Students can make use of pictures, symbols, shapes, colors and line styles to illustrate these relationships.
Activities:
After reading the story, the pupils did the following activities.
1. Place the central character at the center of the diagram.
2. Let the physical distance between characters reflect the perceived psychological distance between the characters.
3. Let the size/ shape/ symbol of a character metamorphic ally represent each personality, importance one’s power or lack of, etc.

The mother will say “you’re welcome to my family”, but neither will confirm nor deny if their classmates belong to that family.

Some categories that might work are: fairytales, adventure stories, nature stories, and poetry and noun fiction.

Activity:
This activity greatly helped pupils strengthen skills in characterization in an artistic and cooperative way:
1. Give them materials to dress up the member of their group as a character from one book read earlier. To ensure a variety of characters and to avoid replication, once a group decides on a book, no one can choose that
For L.T. #2 I will have my students describe the main event in 2 ways using only one sentence that will retell that particular scene using the illustrations in one and use only their descriptions in the other. In L.T. #3 I will have 2 pictures of a setting and illustration in the book and the students will have to explain/ describe what is happening based on the picture. In L.T. #4 the students will describe what they think the main theme or message is of the story, the students must explain why they feel that
For the next step which can be the upcoming session or the same, I showcase the pictures on the wall. The children observe each other’s’ motives, their personal feelings and pure concept of what they heard (it can be a basic form of their fabric design). They talk about what they observed and give their ideas about the illustrations (it builds their speech skills in front of the others, provides self-confidence and self-esteems).
“ The students will read the first sentence of each paragraph in the text. Each student is going to skim the text. (Appendix 4) Then they are going to discuss the main idea of the text in pairs. The teacher elicits answers.
In the **** I could have added a visual for them to look back at. Choosing a character all students were familiar with would have helped them understand how to use the given information to understand the characters viewpoint. Referring to a book the students have recently read and only focusing on the main character would have been a *** example. Starting by going over what occurred in the book, and reflecting about the characters viewpoint through the story. By only focusing on the characters viewpoint would have helped the two students understand what to look for.
Each pair will be given texts based on their reading level so they can partner read the texts and summarize the content. The class will discuss and identify the goals of partner reading before they begin: collaboration, assisting on another, etc. At the end of the unit, each pair will present their summaries to the class along with visuals that help the rest of the class to understand the
During the planning meet, we will create one lesson that integrates English language arts and symbiosis in learning stations. We will analyze all the resources that we have compiled and select four that we feel would be the most effective for our students. We will need three reading activities and one writing activity to complete the learning stations. One activity will require students to work independently.
(Cambria and Guthrie’s, 2010) research indicates that in order to motivate students to read we need to take in consideration their interest, dedication and confidence. “An interested student reads because he enjoys it; a dedicated student reads because he believes it is important, and a confident student reads because he can do it. ”(Cambria and Guthrie,
Making content accessible for all students can be a difficult task. Classrooms are filled with diverse learners from all different backgrounds with different strengths, needs, home languages and learning styles. This is particularly true in a moderate to severe special education classrooms where students have varying levels of academic, developmental, communication and social abilities. Over the course of my teaching career and my time at Brandman I have learned valuable ways of engaging and supporting all students’ in the classroom.
New York is a great town, filled with new sights and old friends. One of the many things that Bullard TALENT did in my 7th grade year while in New York was sight-see. Bullard TALENT traveled all over the city, observing the busy residents and the famous landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Central Park. While all of these places were unforgettable, in my opinion, the best thing that we got to see was a Broadway production of Aladdin. It was truly amazing.
Through implement activities in this classroom, I observed that children have capacity to use materials in variety of ways to learn and explore base on their experiences and interests. Even though I have planned my activity and image how children might approach to the materials, I restrain instructions and let children express how they play and learn. I stay beside to observe and assist when children needed. It is treasure to see how children excited to learn and be creative. In the classroom, I’m sensitive to individual differences and abilities.
The characterization of the characters come from how the author establishes how each character presents its knowledge about
In order for the students to demonstrate their accuracy and fluency I would have them read a fluency passage that is at their grade level. The passage would also have a section for their accuracy of how many words they can read in a
Incorporating small reading allows all students participate and interact in reading out loud. The challenge of having different book assigned can have many benefits for students development, because they are able to move within reading levels as they advance their
I know that creativity and the art is very important material for children to learn at a early age. Also in the creativity and art area they are able to figure out different problem and then are able to solve them. In the art area it can help boost their child self confidence and self esteem while in the classroom. One way I will suggestion to the families and caregivers is to make sure that their activities are age appropriate. The second suggestion I will make sure that they have enough room to explore and developing their gross motor skils.
Through this activity, the teachers assure that the learners are able to participate fully in the curriculum. As the supports given by the teacher the learners allow them to transfer their skills and knowledge to
