Participation

There are 6 comprehension checkpoints for this session:

  1. Introduce yourself in the chat area when the room is opened or within the first 10 minutes after the start of the webinar. Please include more than just "hello". Tell us who you are, where you are from, what you teach and how familiar you are with OK2Ask sessions.

  2. Schema Activator Poll: Resources you use to teach reading. (Must be completed during the session in the time allotted.)

  3. Poll: Based on the sample Sway, discuss how reading activities delivered via Sway can be beneficial in your class.

  4. Sway: Using resources provided, add a pre-reading activity to the practice Sway.

  5. Sway: Using resources provided, add a during reading activity to the practice Sway.

  6. Poll & Go as the webinar ends (Must be completed during the session in the time allotted.)

Additionally, you must complete the session feedback survey after the webinar is over.

ACTIVITY 2 (Checkpoint 4): Add a Pre-Reading Activity to the practice Sway

In this Activity, participants will copy a Microsoft Sway template from the link provided, change the file name and add a PREDICTION pre-reading activity based on the sample media provided. The pre-reading activity must include instructions written in a TEXT CARD within the Sway.

Be sure to name your copy of the Sway template with your first and last name.

You can have your students PREDICT from either an embedded video or pair of images (book front and back cover).

  • IMAGES (download the images then add them to your Sway by either dragging and dropping the images onto your media cards or using the upload from "My Device" feature.)

  • VIDEO - 1 minute review of the children's book We're Not From Here by Geoff Rodkey -- search for this video from within Sway and then drag the result onto your video card: https://youtu.be/v1bviJ150dE

Don't forget to add a text card and write the Prediction Activity instructions for your students.

ACTIVITY 3 (Checkpoint 5): Add a During-Reading activity to the practice Sway

You can have your students process information during reading in a variety of ways. Think of how you might want them to process the text while listening to a recording of it.

  1. Add DIRECTIONS for how you want the students to interact with the recording.

  2. Add a MEDIA CARD and embed the code for the We're Not From Here recording on SoundCloud (recording is here)

  3. Email a link to your Sway to Ok2Ask@sflinc.org. Be sure to put your First and Last name in the subject line of your email.
