demands? Write at least 2 comments about the scaffolding you will provide
for each academic language demands.
The 2 academic language demands at this center are big ideas/concepts when
dealing with creating an original story off the top of the students head and the other
academic language demand is being able to summarize. There is scaffolding for the
individual practicing fluency and the individual practicing their comprehension. For
fluency, the student starts with 30 seconds to write their ideas for the story they are about
to tell. Then, they get 15 seconds to write their ideas down. Lastly, they dont get to write
their ideas down. The help of organizing their ideas on paper slowly goes away in order
for them to be able to fluently speak and create an idea off the top of their head. For
comprehension, the student start with having to summarize the story they heard in 6
panels, then move to 5 panels, and lastly move to 3 panels in order to help them narrow
the main points, the beginning, middle, and end, of the story down.
How would this center address the needs of multiple abilities, strengths, and needs of the
students in your future classroom? Write at least 2 Comments.
This center addresses multiple strengths by incorporating a listening portion, a
speaking portion, and a drawing portion. By incorporating these, this center helps
students who are more visual learners and more audio learners. The center provides nontypical ways of summarizing, which is through drawing a comic strip.
Student Accountability System:
How do you organize the accountability system so that students completed their work?
The center is done on dry erase material. The students are not to erase their work
that way the teacher can view the comic strip summary of the told stories when the
teacher has time along with the list of ideas the storyteller came up with. The teacher can
take pictures on their phone of the comic strips and/or the ideas list. The comic strips and
ideas sheet can be erased and used again. The teacher can match up the ideas to the
comic strips and keep a checklist of who has completed each station.
Would students able to independently complete the work at this center? No. (explain)
Students would not be able to complete this center independently because it is a
partner center. One person needs to be telling a story and the other person needs to be
listening to the story being told and summarize what they just heard by drawing a comic
strip. Two people are needed.
