We have started using T-Shaped literacy in our class. We read books as a class and then work with buddies at our table to record ideas about questions that help us think about the things that are happening in the stories. Here are some photos and an Explain Everything that was created during this time as part of T-Shaped literacy work.
Our T-Shaped literacy often links both our reading and writing together as well as topics we are focusing on. Currently, we are focusing on Animals, looking at different types of animals and their different habitats (both in the wild and as zoo animals and as pets. This is helping us get ready for our Zoo trip in late August.
The previous topic that we were focusing on was about Myths and Legends. Here is an Explain Everything of a story that was being re-told. Our publishing during this Myths and Legends T-Shaped literacy focus was acting out myths we had focused on and we recorded these. We hope to be able to share with you all what these look like.
That was a great re-telling of the story of how Maui slowed the sun. I really enjoyed that.
