TEACHING STRATEGY: Reciprocal Teaching

WHAT WILL BE TAUGHT USING THIS STRATEGY: Is Milk a Health Food?

Reciprocal Teaching

If teachers who want to move instruction from delivery to discovery, reciprocal teaching is an excellent choice. As an approach that allows students to directly assist with the discovery of material and the subsequent construction of meaning, the instructional routine is ideally meant for the classroom intent for putting learning in the hands of the learner (e.g., Little & Richards, 2000).

A review of 16 studies on reciprocal teaching suggests that it increases comprehension, achievement, and standardized test scores (Rosenshine & Meister, 1994).

What is reciprocal teaching and why is it so effective? Reciprocal teaching provides students opportunities to practice cognitive strategies- summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and prediction- to understand text (Palinscar & Brown, 1984).

Class Information

Name: Ms. Swaynisha Outerbridge Dept: English Week of: 10/05/13 to 14/05/13 Day: M T W T F

RL. 9-10 (3): Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.

W. 9-10 (1): Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.

Objective

Objective(s) w/ proficiency level: Students Will Be Able To- state if milk is a health food utilizing Reciprocal Teaching with their peers with a minimum of 85% accuracy.

Identify = (Knowledge) Analyze, Emphasize= (Application) Evaluate= (Evaluation)

Blooms Taxonomy

Technology: Smart board

Materials Needed: Is Milk a Health Food four paragraph essay, high-lighter, smart board.

Technology Used

Do Now: Students will be notified that there are four parts to Reciprocal Teaching. Students will briefly be asked to take 10 minutes to write down what they know about milk as a health food.

EEL students will review Is Milk a Health Food in both languages and write down what they know about milk as a health food.

Do Now Activity

Vocabulary: reciprocal, summarize, question, clarify, predict

Students will review vocabulary words.

Students will identify the components of reciprocal teaching.

Students will read Is Milk a Health Food handout.

Students will have their reciprocal teaching conversation with their peers about the Milk passage.

Opening (Teaching)

Modifications: EEL students will be have a copy of the handout in both languages, be put in the groups which will help with the language barrier as well as vocabulary flash cards in both languages.

Modifications

Work Period (Student Activities hands-on, inquiry bases, problem-solving):

Each student in the group will select a role out of the four components (summarize, question, clarify and predict) using highlighters provided to emphasize where needed.

The students will read the selection and stop where I have indicated in the text for them to have their reciprocal teaching conversation about the Milk passage with their group.

Students will take turns supplying their section of the handout to the group. (For example whoever summarized in the first reading may be the person to question in the second reading etc.)

Work Period (students)

Closing

Closing:

Students will identify how reciprocal teaching can help them analyze reading selections by following a simple comprehension process.

Students will be given another handout entitled The Next President’s First Priority. Students will elaborate and perform reciprocal teaching amongst their group highlighting each component as they read.

Evaluation/Assessment/Evidence of Learning:

Once the students have finished their passages, students will raise their hand and say what each component of reciprocal teaching entails as it pertained to the reading selection. Their answers will be used as assessment tools to provide evidence of learning.
