  1. So I did my final um project on reciprocal teaching.
  2. So the first thing I'm going to kind of go over is what it is.
  3. It refers to an in structural
  4. activity in which students become the teacher on small group reading sessions,
  5. teachers model that help students learn to
  6. guide group discussions using four strategies,
  7. predicting questioning, clarifying and then summarizing.
  8. So once students have learned the strategies,
  9. they take turns assuming the role of teacher and
  10. leading a dialogue about what has been read.
  11. So why use it first?
  12. It encourages students to think about their
  13. own thought process during the reading.
  14. The second reason is it helps students learn to be
  15. actively involved and monitor their comprehension as they read.
  16. And the last reason is it teaches students to ask
  17. questions during reading and helps makes the text more comprehensible.
  18. So kind of some ways how to use it.
  19. Break the classroom into mixed ability small groups.
  20. Designate one student as the teacher within each small group.
  21. This student will help keep their small group
  22. task and ensure they move through each of the
  23. four steps as they read material that has
  24. already been divided into smaller chunks by you.
  25. Next, you'll read the first chunk to all the small groups, modeling the
  26. Following four steps of reciprocal teaching. So the first step
  27. is prediction.
  28. So ask students to predict what they think, reading maybe about, get them to think
  29. about what is going to happen by asking them questions like a detective might do.
  30. Okay,
  31. The second step is question as you go.
  32. So remind students to generate questions as they listen and read,
  33. remind them of the three levels of questions.
  34. The first level is right there questions which
  35. have answers in the text.
  36. The second is between the line questions,
  37. which an inference is needed and the third
  38. is critical thought questions which require their opinions
  39. next is clarify and so asked students listen and read,
  40. remind them to ask themselves what words and phrases are unclear to them.
  41. These clarifications may take form in asking, how do you pronounce that?
  42. What does that word mean? Questions like that?
  43. The last one is summarize and so as
  44. students summarize verbally within pairs and
  45. then share with their assigned small group
  46. or record their summary and read it aloud to that small group.
  47. So kind of my opinion on the whole subject.
  48. I like this method because when we did these type of things in school,
  49. um where we break out and kind of get to be the teacher that kind of got me thinking,
  50. hey, maybe I want to do that because I enjoyed it so much.
  51. I enjoyed like helping other students
  52. try to like figure out what was happening,
  53. helping them learn and then like them doing it to me.
  54. So that really cemented my idea of me wanting to become a teacher. So it's kind of
  55. um, I really like this.
  56. Um, also I taught sunday school,
  57. like in high school and so breaking them out into those small groups,
  58. helped me know like what they already know and what I need to cover some more.
  59. And it helped them kind of interact with each other and get that, um, face to face
  60. talking with, not just the teacher,
  61. like getting to talk to your peers without you getting in trouble and kind of
  62. getting what they might have caught and you didn't.
  63. So yes, I really like this method.
  64. And here are my sources. Thank you so much.
