In this session, participants will learn the 4 parts to reciprocal teaching as well as participate in a mock lesson. First, we will introduce the four components: predict, clarify, question and summarize. Within each component, we will explicitly explain as well as give ideas for execution. For example, there are several ways to get students to predict: picture walk, Mind's Eye activity, and word sorts. We will show examples of various ways to implement each stage as it looks different for various classrooms, age levels, and content. Next, we teachers will participate in a mock reciprocal teaching lesson. We believe if teachers actually DO the activity, they are more likely to feel confident in trying it in their classrooms. Therefore, this is not just a sit and get but rather an interactive presentation. Finally, we will provide materials for implementation such as laminated cards for students to reference in class for each of the 4 parts.
