intentions Be reflective
Today’s Outcomes Participants will reflect and examine current
teaching practices to analyze structures that are habitual and structures that are intentional.
Participants will write mini-lessons that are appropriately placed and connect to the larger body of work.
Participants will understand the significance of architectural integrity and will be able to design mini-lessons with this in mind.

Conversation Patterns
Traditional Conversation Pattern
“Sea of Talk” Pattern of Conversation
Analysis of DiscourseMini Lesson – Authoring Ideas About Texts
Questions to ask while analyzing discourse . . . Who is talking? How does the conversation build? What are the structures that are occurring? Are there set procedures? Teacher’s role? Student’s role? What is the tone? Conversational Patterns?

Mini Lesson Look-Fors Mini-lesson is focused, 10-15 minutes, and has a clear learning objective/teaching point. The teacher connects new learning to previous learning/ experiences.
There is one clear teaching point. The teacher gives and gathers information through modeling and/or using literature. Students have an opportunity to try out the new work during the mini-lesson (active
engagement). Discourse during active engagement is encouraged through turn and talk and/or written response. Teacher ends the mini-lesson with a link. Teaching/strategies are documented during the mini-lesson (ie. anchor chart). Students have continual access
to expectations and strategies. Mini-lesson connects to the written curriculum of the given unit.
