Slide 1

What do your shoes say about you?

Think of all of the different kinds of shoes you own. (dress shoes, running shoes, hiking shoes, rubber boots, sandals, winter boots, water shoes, slippers, etc.)

Do a pair-share with a partner to share one kind of shoe you own, and why.

Wearing the right kind of shoes for an activity is important.

1Here Are My Shoes!These are some of my shoes.

Wearing the right kind of shoes for an activity is important. I wouldnt wear my rubber rain boots to go running. I wouldnt wear my slippers out in the snow.

Just like that, having a purpose in mind when choosing a book, is also important.2Shoes I dont Own

I dont have football cleats because Im not into football.

I dont have ice skates because I cant even stand up wearing them.

I dont own high heels because I think theyre silly and impractical.

3Shoes I dont Own

Too Frilly!Im thinking these are too small.Im not graceful!Too Honkey TonkeyIm not really into bowling!These are SOO NOT a good idea!I dont have football cleats because Im not into football.

I dont have ice skates because I cant even stand up wearing them.

I dont own high heels because I think theyre silly and impractical.

4I Pick Just Right Books!I choose a bookPurpose: Why do I want to read it?Interest: Does it interest me?Comprehend: Am I understanding what I am reading?Know: I know most of the words.

Its important that the shoes I wear match my interests and purpose. Its also important that I am successful in my shoes-that I can do what I set out to do. Just like that, its important that the books I choose are good fits (match my interests and purpose, and that I can understand them).

Think-Pair-ShareList your favorite kinds of books/genres, authors, series, etc. What do you like about them? Turn to a partner and share.

Next time, well go more in-depth with purpose and interest.

5 Day 1 PurposeWhy do you want to read?Make a list with your group.What did your group think of? (Share responses.)What are some different reasons you read?

At your table, brainstorm a list or web to see how many reasons you come up with. This isnt what you are interested in reading, buy WHY you read.

Have each table share one reason. The rest of the class will think about the reason and come up with a topic that would match up. Three kids can popcorn for each reason. After three kids popcorn, the next table will share a new reason.

Continue until every reason has been shared.

6Why Mrs. Robinson readsFor Fun!To learn something new.To kill time on a long car ride.To relax and have some time to myself.For a research project.

Here is a little of what I thought of.

Now that you are clear on WHY you might be reading, you can move onto WHAT you are interested in.

7What Do Readers Read?Homework Alert!!!!

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Your job is to spy on readers and make a secret list of WHY readers read and WHAT they are reading.You get to be a private eye/ detective. Dont tell anyone that you are watching them.

Bring your list to Readers Workshop tomorrow and we will discuss your observations.

Day 2- Share ObservationsYesterday we talked about why we read and you had a secret homework operation! Lets share what you observed about readersI Pick Just Right Books!I choose a bookPurpose: Why do I want to read it?Interest: Does it interest me?Comprehend: Am I understanding what I am reading?Know: I know most of the words.Do you remember what I PICK stands for from last time we met?

What does I PICK stand for?

Why are we using I PICK to look for books? Why are there so many things for us to think about when choosing books?10What does Mrs. Robinson Read? Day 2- InterestWhy do you want to read it? What are you interested in?Take the surveyChat with a partner about what was most important to you

Using the Mimio model for the students who to take the interest survey. (Cont. on next slide)

Hand out a paper copy of the survey to the students. Have them take the survey and hand it in to you to look over. I like to keep mine and have it on file for when the students have difficulty choosing a book to read. 12

13InterestChat with a partner about what was most important to you on the survey.What did you learn about your partner that you didnt know before?How do you think that this activity will influence the types of books you read?14I Pick Just Right Books!I choose a bookPurpose: Why do I want to read it?Interest: Does it interest me?Comprehend: Am I understanding what I am reading?Know: I know most of the words.

What does I PICK stand for?

Why do you think purpose and interest are things that we need to consider?

Today we are going to focus on Comprehension. Does anyone know what that means?

15Day 3-Comprehension Talk to your table about: How do you know if you are understanding what you are reading? What are some ways you can check if you understand what youve read? Some tips I use:Read a paragraph or page.Ask myself, What did I just read about? Ask myself, What might happen next?

The big questions are, Does it make sense? and Does it have meaning to me?

If what you are reading doesnt make sense, whats the point?

16Lets Try It! The History Of SkateboardingFrom "The Concrete Wave"

Skateboarding has rich history of innovation and is full of intriguing stories. Many of these stories are documented.The first type of skateboards were scooter-like contraptions that date back to the early 1900's. They featured roller skate wheels attached to a two by four. Tens of thousands of rollerskates were dismantled and joyfully hammered on to planks of wood.

17History of Skateboarding from Concrete Wave cont.In the 1950's modifications were made to the trucks and kids started to maneuver more easily. Towards the late 1950's, surfing became increasingly popular and people began to tie surfing together with cruising on a board. By the time the 1960's rolled around, skateboarding had gained an impressive following. However, when Larry Stevenson and his Makaha company promoted the product, designs of professional boards peaked performance, enabling higher function and execution of maneuvers.

This has a lot of big words and I get lost reading it.

All I remember is that they used roller skate wheels and something about surfing

18 A Brief History of SkateboardingSkateboarding was first started in the 1950s, when all across California, surfers got the idea of trying to surf the streets. No one really knows who made the first board because many people came up with the idea at the same time. A few people have claimed to have invented the skateboard first, but no one knows for sure who was first.The first skateboarders started with a wooden board that had roller skate wheels slapped on the bottom. Like you might imagine, a lot of people got hurt in skateboarding's early years! It was a sport just being born and discovered, so anything went. Later on, the companies started making skateboards to sell. At that time skateboarding was seen as something to do for fun after surfing.

Day 4- KnowThink of how you can check if you know most of the words.Talk to a partner.Share with the group.Read a page. Are there more than 2-3 words you dont know?

Day 4- KnowWhat are some tips you can try if you get stuck on a word?

In order to make sense of what we are reading, we need to be able to read/figure out the words.

Turn to a partner and share some things you try when you get stuck on a word.

I know most of the word
