This is my first attempt at using teaching as inquiry as a method of teaching and as an assessment tool. These students were selected as a result of observations noted during my guided reading programme. This process took 6 weeks but could go longer. It is important to note that anecdotal notes were used throughout the process to track students progress and the effectiveness of my teaching methods.
Teacher Inquiry Process: - 2013 Focusing Inquiry: Reading (Serenity, Mya, Utah, McKenzie, Mason, Charles, Mystery)
Wk 3 term 2- Wk 7 term 2
What is the intended learning outcome? Students will be able to use expression, voice projection and use punctuation correctly
Why is this important? Phrasing correctly helps with understanding text
Able to read confidently and competently to an audience.
Teaching Inquiry:
How do I enable the students to hear their own reading?
Using ICT to record voices.
Students to identify own errors and discuss how they can
improve.
Make a story book using ‘little bird tales’ web site.
Record a play using Audacity.
Personal reading using web cam.
Students that are not confident to read easier book in order
to focus on the expression, projection and punctuation.
What are my next learning steps?
Teach students to using ICT to record their reading of text. Self evaluate.
Focus on volume, expression, use of punctuation and
fluidness.
What resources will support this?
Web cam
Audacity
Little bird tales
Teaching and Learning:
So what did the students do / learn?
Read to small groups.
Shared reading out load with small groups.
Share a range of written language.
Learning Inquiry:
What are the students’ next learning steps?
Students have made huge progress. Serenity stills needs ongoing
support to project voice. Mya has moved down a group to
practise these skills with an easier text. Other’s doing well with
the above skills. All students have made gains in confidence.
