Reciprocal Teaching
What I liked about this video was how descriptive and engaged the teacher was when discussing what the class was going to be reading and working on. The teacher used puppets so when her students were stuck on something while reading they go to a puppet to help them. For example they had Claire the clarified to help the students clarify something they didn't understand in the reading. they also had a puppet that rounded up all the main ideas at the end of the book so students know what the purpose of the reading was. I really enjoyed watching this video however, I do believe it takes a lot of time to reciprocal teach. I noticed that the students sitting on the carpet had a hard time keeping still which is extremely important when teaching because it might mean the students are losing focus in the lesson. however, the teacher did a good job for giving actions to the puppets that the students can copy. For example, Sammy the summerizeir had an action like swinging the rope. This helped the students stay interested in that particular topic because the students were active and moving. Personally, I don;t think reciprocal teaching should be used a lot throughout the school year.
