I am so so excited to be linking up with The Primary Chalkboard for the No Worksheet Wednesdays series! How did this idea start? It was the idea of the amazing Christina, from Sugar and Spice with Miss DeCarbo. She had just returned from the National Reading Recovery Conference, and had picked up a few professional reading books. Among them, was the book: A lively and interesting discussion followed, and we all agreed that it was time to go "back to basics." So here we are! Future link-ups will be held on these dates: March 11th March 18th March 25th So, what did I do two Wednesdays ago in preparation for this link-up? Well, we were still working on our Presidents' Day Flip Book. More specifically, we were set to read and learn about the responsibilities of the president. I knew I needed to get my second graders to a place where they could accomplish this task on Thursday: So, before we read the text, we focused on some hands-on vocabulary building...old school style, and made Word Posters. Here's how I did it: 1) Required Skills Mini-Lesson: Whole class mini-lesson on dictionary skills (abc order and guide words) 2) Guided Practice: We did a sample poster together. I left it pretty open-ended, and told them they could represent the word in any way they thought would be helpful. (pictures, definition, examples, cut-out photographs, and even non-examples) 3) Guidelines and Expectations: Ok, here is where I botched it up. We do a lot of inquiry work in my classroom. Kids are working together on a regular basis. So, I skipped the expectations talk, and just let them get to work. Big mistake! I had to stop our session, pull everyone back to the carpet, and go over our rules for working together. Here is the poster I have in my classroom. These are the rules that we have come up with together, during the course of the year. Each time we have a collaborative task, we always wrap it up with a discussion about our "successes" and "challenges". Students share any issues that came up in their groups, and then students work on coming up with a solution. We add the solutions to our poster. This makes the rules relevant and meaningful to my students. 4) Independent Practice: Students went off with their partners to go create their posters. They looked up their word in a dictionary, and worked on paraphrasing what their word meant. I made sure the poster paper was large enough so that all 3 group members could be contributing to their poster at the same time. By leaving this task open, all students were able to participate. I loved that even my students who struggle with reading and writing were able to add drawings and labels that represented their word, and made their learning evident. All Hands On Deck = A Happy Teacher! Here are a few finished posters: Think the poster above is a little bare? That's ok, because we will add examples and character's names throughout the year who demonstrate this trait! "collaborative" Their posters were seriously cute and authentic (not perfect), and they loved making them! As a teacher, the discussions I heard while walking around were rich and meaningful. Students were negotiating, compromising, agreeing and disagreeing respectfully, and coming to a consensus. 5) Group Presentations: Each group was then asked to present their word to the class. Each student was expected to contribute to their group's presentation. After the group is done, we use a wonderful idea I got from Stephanie Harvey. After students share, the audience may respond with: a) Comment b) Connection (In my classroom, this has become "Important Connection", to make sure we stay focused on the big ideas) c) Question, d) I also added the option of "Suggestion". The audience members usually have lots of suggestions for each group. After all groups had finished, I gave all of the groups an additional 5 minutes to add any ideas to their posters. These posters now hang in our classroom, and are a great focus wall for character trait discussions during our ELA block. 6) Debrief: Don't forget to go over the "successes and challenges" of working together. The next day, we were all set to read! We did a quick review of the words using a Powerpoint that I had made (which I will get into in a future post). (BTW: My approach to vocabulary instruction is based on the work of Isabel Beck. If you have not read her book...it is amazing!) Affiliate link below. With all of this background knowledge about the vocabulary, the students did a wonderful job finding text evidence to complete our reading task, the following day!

The importance of the English language in today's world There are several factors that make the English language essential to communication in our current time. First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that [...] speaking it will help you communicate with people from countries all over the world, not just English-speaking ones. [...] On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. [...] It's the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language [...] English is also essential to the field of education. [...] Because it is the dominant language in the sciences, most of the research and studies you find in any given scientific field will be written in it as well. […] English skills will also help you in any business venture you choose to follow. If you visit some offices, companies, governmental organizations, or even math or engineering companies, you will see the importance of English. Available at: . Glossário business venture: empreendimento; negócio current time: época atual field: área; campo foreign: estrangeira majority: maioria primary language: língua principal research: pesquisa several: diversos skills: habilidades the press: imprensa; mídia 2.

GABARITO COMENTADO 1. Objeto (s) de conhecimento: Compreensão geral e específica: leitura rápida (skimming, scanning) Habilidade: (EF07LI06) Antecipar o sentido global de textos em língua inglesa por inferências, com base em leitura rápida, observando títulos, primeiras e últimas frases de parágrafos e palavraschave repetidas. Comentários: a) O texto trata da presença da língua inglesa não apenas na internet, mas também em outros contextos. b) De fato, o texto trata da importância da língua inglesa em diversos contextos. (correta) c) O texto trata do oposto disso, abordando diversos e variados contextos em que a língua inglesa é utilizada. d) Essa informação não é mencionada no texto, que trata do inglês no mundo atual. Orientações sober como interpretar as respostas e reorientar o planejamento com base nos resultados: Caso o estudante não selecione a resposta correta, será necessário reforçar as atividades de reconhecimento e identificação da estrutura e de palavras-chave de textos para a criação de inferências e a antecipação de seu assunto geral. Para isso, pode-se propor diversas atividades de leitura nas quais os estudantes precisem observar as palavras que se repetem, bem como outras informações relevantes, para que possam relacioná-las à compreensão global dos textos. Atividades que envolvam compartilhamento em grupos são importantes nesse momento, pois oferecem aos estudantes novos pontos de vista e podem orientá-los com relação à forma de agir ao se depararem com textos em inglês. 2. Objeto (s) de conhecimento: Compreensão geral e específica: leitura rápida (skimming, scanning) Habilidade: (EF07LI07) Identificar a(s) informação(ões)-chave de partes de um texto em língua inglesa (parágrafos). Comentários: a) Não há nada nesse parágrafo que indique que o inglês não era uma língua popular no passado. b) Nesse parágrafo, fica evidente que são vários fatores que fazem a língua inglesa ser importante, e não apenas um. c) Não há nada nesse parágrafo que indique que a comunicação internacional não é importante na atualidade. d) Esse parágrafo aponta que uma das razões que fazem do inglês um idioma tão importante é o fato de ele possibilitar a comunicação, permitindo que pessoas de diferentes partes do mundo interajam entre elas. (correta) Orientações sobre como interpretar as respostas e reorientar o planejamento com base nos resultados: Nesta questão, trabalha-se o reconhecimento da informação-chave de um parágrafo. Caso o estudante marque a resposta incorreta, é possível que ele não tenha compreendido como sintetizar uma parte de um texto para capturar sua informação principal. Para praticar esse tipo de reconhecimento, é recomendável propor atividades como a elaboração de sentenças que resumam a informação-chave de cada parágrafo de um texto lido. Pode-se também pedir aos estudantes que criem pequenos parágrafos sobre temas diversos e os troquem com os colegas; a partir disso, cada um poderá elaborar uma frase que sintetize o assunto principal do parágrafo que leu. Independentemente da atividade proposta, é importante que a turma discuta, em seguida, as sentenças que elaboraram, explicando a relação delas com o assunto principal do texto ou do parágrafo em questão. 3. Objeto (s) de conhecimento: A língua inglesa como língua global na sociedade contemporânea. Habilidade: (EF07LI21) Analisar o alcance da língua inglesa e os seus contextos de uso no mundo globalizado. Comentários: a) Não é possível assinalar essa frase, pois em nenhum momento o texto menciona o uso do inglês em leis de trânsito. b) O texto indica isso ao assinalar que a maioria dos sites disponíveis na internet é escrita ou desenvolvida em inglês. c) O texto indica que um dos contextos de uso da língua é o da educação, o que se dá por meio de pesquisas e estudos diversos. d) Outro contexto apontado no texto é a possibilidade de comunicação com pessoas de vários lugares do mundo. (corretas) Orientações sobre como interpretar as respostas e reorientar o planejamento com base nos resultados: Caso o estudante não assinale essas três opções, é possível que não tenha reconhecido o vocabulário ou, então, tenha confundido os principais contextos de uso da língua inglesa apresentados no texto. Nesse caso, é necessário despertar no estudante a consciência da presença do inglês em diversos contextos no mundo globalizado. Por se tratar de uma questão essencial para aprendizes da língua, é recomendável propor atividades que trabalhem essa temática, com a apresentação de textos diversos sobre o assunto ou, até mesmo, a aproximação da turma com os contextos de uso do idioma – o que pode ser feito por meio de pesquisas em grupo na sala de informática, por exemplo. A partir disso, o estudante reconhecerá o vocabulário referente a esses diferentes usos e conseguirá definilos com mais facilidade, além de desenvolver sua visão crítica a respeito da globalização e do alcance da língua inglesa.
