RPI Day 7 - Thinking
We want students to have reading competency and digital competency. We want them to be able to think about what they are learning and not just typing online. Moving students into higher-order thinking by answering not only literal questions but interpretive and evaluative questions. I have created a follow-up activity that I can use in the future with my reading groups. I looked into the issue today, should girls be allowed to play in a rugby tournament. The students will look at all the different characters and give reasons for their views and thinking. People have different opinions depending on their position or situation.
Discussing Bloom's Taxonomy highlighted lower-order thinking and higher-order thinking. I have seen in class that having bookclub like discussions where the students lead the conversation analysing and evaluating the text is very powerful.
We want to move on from literal questions as shown below.
I liked the look of adding some information to the vocabulary as seen below. Students can open their text with Lumin and highlight information.
I chose the text No Girls Allowed by Victor Roger as it has social issues around gender bias. It looks at the different characters perspectives as to why they think the way they do.
Good readers think about what they know and other parts of the text and they bring it together. Multi-text helps us to understand more deeply. Students synthesising at Level 3 need to show a developing understanding of ideas within, across, and beyond texts:
I like this how it is asking the student to put the word in a sentence.
Kia ora Jazz,
ReplyDeleteonce again you have covered a lot in RPI and you have taken a lot out of it to use in your class.
Isn't it great having the time to have these days and the time to prepare resources to use immediately on your return to class. Looking forward to hearing how they went when you used them.

Hi Jazz, lots of thinking going on all around lol! The idea of using text sets to be able to facilitate synthesis more readily is a great one to take away. This is something we would really like to see more teachers doing over the programme. I also like your example of making sure your questions have moth a literal level and then one that is in the HOT level. I like that you are going to use no girls allowed with your class. We'd love to hear how that goes for you and any DLO's you might make or get the students to create would be great ti share back please. Kiri
