SUMMARY
I performed well during my guided reading lesson. It helps that Mr. Pacer uses a really efficient and effective guided reading program that made it easy for me to create a lesson around. Mr. Pacer divided the students into five different leveled reading groups last week. We began guided reading with these reading groups this week. During my observation, I worked with two of the groups. I used the BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER reading comprehension method as I worked with the groups. We went on a picture walk and word walk before we began reading. We predicted what was going to happen during reading, and we talked about what happened after reading. I incorporated as many fluency and comprehension strategies as I could during these guided reading groups.
INSIGHT
After I had been observed my UOP Instructor (FT) showed me her notes and the list of techniques and methods she checked off. She had checked off close to 30 different items on the rubric. She went over them with me one by one and said that I covered each one and did it extremely well. Here's the funny thing, I didn't include these things in my lesson plan, I just did them because it was the natural thing to do with the students during the guided reading to ensure they were comprehending the material. Maybe I am a natural, or maybe it was beginners luck.
