Hello Bloggers,
This is my monthly post. I am still working on giving continual feedback to my students. One area that is challenging to grade is book club discussions. Last quarter, I came up with a rubric to help students better understand their roles. If you would like a copy of it let me know (because I do not know how to attach papers to this blog). It is broken into multiple scores including if they come to book club prepared. I have also left room for me to make some comments about their participation and discussion.
I have found this to be extremely useful in grading and providing feedback to students.
Also, when I notice a group struggling, I have them rate themeselves and how well they think book club went. It is really interesting to note how they often are very honest or critical of their own preformance.
The book club books this month are:
Gossmer
Leepike Ridge
Charlotte's Web
Punished.
What else do you do to provide feedback in readers workshop?
What resources have been helpful for you?
What do you do to support the groups with difficulty discussing?
