We are approaching the end of the RPI, and the best question is:
How are we going to maintain the RPI Kaupapa?
Like all teachers, I have a dream ...
Currently, to make my life easier I have a set of Vocabulary slides with various activities on and I add this to the Response to text slides, once we have a set of words both teacher selected and student selected I choose an activity that best fits the needs of the students.
Some groups, I get them to select the slide and they can use it like a template to modify and create their own.
These students will report back to the larger reading group later in the week. My reading groups have around 8 and break into pairs for the reading response activity.
I also want to do this for the graphic organisers for the Figurative Language, just for quick reference. First, I will need to modify and possibly make them into slides for they fit nicely into response activities. Will see how this could work.
Next Steps
Creating a site with the headings:
- Vocabulary
- Summarising
- Evaluating
- Main Ideas
- Making Connections
- Inferring
- Point of View
The site has a range of digital and other activities, that cater to a range of abilities. Allowing everyone to use references.
