In the first
unit of Lucy Calkins we have already been able to practice the S&L standard
#4 for 4th grade. We review
giving a chronological summary of a book and work on retelling the most recent
chapter read bringing in details from previous chapters when needed for
understanding. We practiced doing this
as a group together, with the mentor text we are reading. Then, students were given time to use their
silent reading books to practice this skill with a partner.
As we continue reading the mentor text, I
would like to start having students volunteer to recount the most recent
chapter pulling in details from further back in the book for the whole
class. This would allow me to monitor
progress in this area by students and also for others to hear examples of how
it is supposed to be done if they are struggling with this task.
