· Teacher and students create a classroom anchor chart “Ways We Choose Books” based on the methods they used on Day 2 and/or ways they might choose books in the future (see Appendix #6) · Put anchor chart on chart paper. There will be little check boxes across from each method and then each child will be able to keep track of what methods he/she is using to choose books · Students choose 2 more JUST RIGHT texts becoming aware of their method for choosing books · Sign the materials out and keep in magazine file · Read for remainder of period in the library. Teachers circulate the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time · As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), share good reads and successes. Refer back to anchor chart to see which methods were used · Challenge students to use a different method of choosing books next time they choose library books |
