Jan. 27 (Fri.)

Today was SO much better than I had hoped. I was exhausted, but the kids really liked doing the Ask, List, Link, Choose activity. They did really well with it once they understood what to do. I think I need to work on the way I give them directions because I always seem to be repeating myself over and over and over again. I model, I repeat, but they still will get in their groups and sit there doing nothing until I come over and prod them to get started, when they say they don’t know what to do. I think I will make more overheads and model even the actual activity and see if that helps. Anyway, once they got started they did a GREAT job thinking of the second half of the yes, but sentence. I think they are finally getting the point of addressing the opposite point of view.
