Running records. Essentially a visual recording of the student’s reading word by word. It enables a teacher to identify the reading strategies the student may or may not be using and the types of errors the student makes while reading. These errors reveal what is going on in the student’s mind as he or she attempts to make meaning, or comprehend the text. To administer a running record, the teacher provides the student with a book judged to be at his or her current reading level. As the student reads, the teacher makes a series of specialized marks on a running record recording sheet. A checkmark indicates each word read correctly, and other special markings are used to indicate words that have been omitted, inserted or substituted with …show more content…
A flow chart can be as simple as a series of squares connected by lines with arrows indicating the sequence. In each square, the student writes one part of the story, summarized into a sentence or two. Even a student who is just beginning to learn English can draw a picture in each square (and can get a buddy or the teacher to help write a sentence to match). You might want to limit the number of squares students can use and model how to select only the important events of the story. For lower grades, give them only three squares and ask them to show something from the beginning, middle and end of the story. The visual nature of the flow chart helps the English learner better grasp and remember the sequence of events.
Using note cards with flowchart. Often students can remember parts of a story but have difficulty getting events in the right sequence. Give these students note cards to create their flow chart. They write something they remember from the story onto a note card, one idea per card, and when finished, they arrange the note cards into the correct sequence. This is an activity that can be done as a whole-group exercise or in pairs with partners helping each other with the sequence. In addition to arranging the cards in a flowchart, students can put them into columns labeled beginning, middle and end.

This unit is designed for first grade as an introduction to inferring and visualizing. Students will learn how to make an inference, how to visualize and how to apply both these skills while reading poetry, non-fiction and narrative non-fiction. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect and applications of these essential literacy skills.
When I began as a high school freshman, it quickly became a normal as well as an essential part of life. I ate, I slept, I sometimes did homework, and I ran but, not necessarily in that order.
Running Record is used by teachers to assess students’ reading performance as they read from the benchmark books, specially selected books chose for assessment purpose. It is a very valuable tool to identify patterns in students reading behavior that allows to see strategies students used to make meaning of individual words and texts as a whole. The information teachers get while doing a running record helps to identify error, reading accuracy and students
I will discuss about track and field, its history, and how it can benefit you. Even if you're a slow jogger, you'll burn at least 10 calories per minute of running. That means you'll run off a block of chocolate in less than 23 minutes! Everyone can participate in track and field, you might think it's too much work or you don't fit in this sport, after reading one of its benefits you'll change your mind and might give it a try.
One of the most significant battles in antiquity was fought on the narrow, tree strewn plain of Marathon, in September, 490 BC. There, the Athenian army defeated a Persian force more than twice its size, because of superior leadership, training and equipment. The battle of Marathon has provided inspiration to the underdogs throughout history. In 490 BC, the Athenians proved that superior strategy, and technology can claim victory over massive numbers.
Students will listen to a simple story (such as The Three Little Pigs or Goldilocks and the Three Bears), and then will re-enact that story using puppets to reflect the timeline of events and characters of the story. Sequencing also develops listening, observation, and memory skills, which are necessary for all areas of learning. “Sequencing is an important part of problem solving across subjects” (Reading Rockets).
Once upon a time there was a man named Phil Scott. Phil was born in Barre city, Vermont on august 4 1958. Phil studied at the University of Vermont. Phil raced at Thunder road in Barre Vermont. Phil was a champion car racer. He won the 1996 and the 1998 thunder road late model series championship and the 1997 and 1999 thunder road milk bowls.
Track and Field events, also known as athletics, have progressed a great deal since their birth in Olympus, around the ninth century B.C. More athletes and more nationalities compete in Track and Field than in any other Olympic sport. Athletics is one of the largest attractions at the Modern Olympics, drawing in huge crowds of spectators and creating interest at summer Olympics. Track and Field events have come a long way since the Ancient Greek Olympic games. Many events and techniques have been revised, added, or eliminated since the original Greek Olympics. The Olympic motto, “Citius, Altius, Fortius” is describing the Track and Field events in Latin. The Latin means “ Faster (Swifter), Higher, Stronger,” and indicates the running,
Boston marathon and 9/11 attacks is the key victim of the crime and terrorism in United State of America. I believe that in each crime and terrorism mostly committed by the illegal immigrant such as murder, robbery, rape and drug deal. During the 9/11, the terrorists were entered into United State as an illegal because of weakness of boarders and immigration security. Based on the U.S government survey it is conducted that criminal and terrorist first enter as illegal immigrant in the country and they develop their plan. It is very serious issue for each country to prevent crime and terrorism in the country. There are many people have to lose their life because of crime and terrorism attacks. I strongly suggest to the U.S. government to increase
Every day teachers are required to make decisions before, during and after teaching. Some of these decisions will seem small and insignificant and others will have far reaching consequences. All of the assessment undertaken and subsequent decisions made can potentially enhance teaching and influence student learning outcomes for the better (Brady & Kennedy, 2009). There are numerous things to be assessed and various methods for assessing. One example of this is the assessment of reading. A Running Record is one method of assessing a child’s reading (Hill, 2012). The running record allows the teacher to note a child’s reading behaviour as he or she reads from a chosen text. It examines both the accuracy of reading and the types of
“Every serious marathoner should do Boston, to experience the close to a million spectators, the three generations of families out cheering, the little kids handing you water or orange slices. The whole city really appreciates the runners.” -Neil Weygandt. The Boston Marathon. A marathon that is an American tradition and has been ran for the last 119 years. It is one of the major parts of the Boston and American year. It is a part of which makes America great. The strength it takes to finish the marathon is exemplary of the American strength. We are a strong country and it’s going to take a lot to break us. These are all of the major reasons running the Boston Marathon is on my bucket list.
Have you ever wondered as a track athlete what training methods help make you faster? Every practice these athletes do many different techniques that involves sprints, jumps, throws, squats, upper body push and pulling, and hip extensions. Question is, which method is the greatest gain in speed? There are three specific training protocols that I find to be all possibly helpful: Phase 1- conditioning and form; Phase 2- strength and plyometric; and Phase 3- straight sprinting.
Finally, reviewing the answers to the worksheet as a class. This is a solid middle of the lesson. However, some ways in which I would improve the lesson are to first include the strategy of walk and talk when the students are discussing the diagram at the top of the chart activity. Including the walk and talk activity helps to incorporate the kinesthetic modality into the lesson. It also helps to get the students up and out of their seats in between their graphic organizer and their worksheet, which will help to benefit the students with ADHD. Another way that I would improve the middle of the lesson is I would have the students work on the Who You Gonna Call? worksheet in pairs. The reason I would have the students work on this worksheet in pairs is because I think it will help them to better understand the material. I would have the students discuss with their partner the decision they are going to make to help Wally. This discussion will help the students better understand the material. One final way that I would improve the middle of the lesson is that I would have large versions of the graphic organizer, and large graph paper. I would use the large version of the graphic organizer to help go over and review the answers with the class. This large graphic organizer can also help to guide discussion. The large graph paper will be used to help with the discussion of the chart. The teacher can help create a chart about how involved the citizens are, and how responsible the member of government is for citizens. The teacher will then use this graph to help the students check
Running is very good for humans in many different ways. It is a great way to get exercise, and a great way to meet new people. There are many positives, and some negatives, it is easy, enjoyable and makes humans more social, you can do it at anytime, and it relieves stress rather than give stress.
In science, students can use and create visuals to help them understand how different things work together to create a whole. In English, students can be involved in a discussion of what goes in to a good term paper. By playing around with the elements themselves, they will be more apt to understand how and why they are important. Stiggins (2012) suggests using charts that illustrate the analytical process and “highlight analytical inferences” (2012, p. 52). This can be helpful as a guide for students practicing this sort of thinking. They should be encouraged to make their own charts and recognize when they are making an inference.
