I was surprised to find that I was genuinely engaged in tonight\u2019s \u2018notice and wonder\u2019 map activity. \u00a0I had no trouble coming up with questions about what I saw on the map, and I noticed a lot of details that I found interesting. \u00a0This was the first activity that I truly felt a grasp on the concept of See, Think, Wonder. \u00a0I think back to the Harriet Tubman activity. \u00a0I saw first hand how difficult it can be to read a passage about historical events and try to decode, wonder, and \u2018read between the lines\u2019. \u00a0I think students are more likely to be instantly less excited about a reading passage than a picture, map, or other visual. \u00a0With the map activity, we had minimal front-loading, but we recognized the area on the map and many symbols and markings. \u00a0Having these connections from prior knowledge allowed us to think and question the map even more. \u00a0Overall I think the what made this mini lesson so engaging was the fact that we had a visual, rather than a whole jumble of words on a page, and it was recognizable and relevant.<\/p>\n
I was excited to share our group\u2019s nonfiction book with the class. \u00a0It aligned so well to our fiction book, which gave me even more faith in using Blood on the River<\/i>\u00a0as an appropriate read aloud for a class. \u00a0Depending on my grade level, I can definitely see myself having 1607: A New Look at Jamestown\u00a0<\/i>in my classroom as a resource. \u00a0There are a number lesson plan possibilities I can think to create based off of this book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
