Immersion- students are constantly being read aloud to and

shown reading strategies. They have time for indepedenent
reading During Project Study time they are immersed in texts
realted to the specific unit of study (transportation, gardening.)
Anchor charts are displayed around the room, students
partipicate in station rotation.

Demonstration- CTs actively demonstrate to students the

writing process by modeling different writing styles for students
to see and use as a model for their own writing

Engagement- providing spaces for students to actively think

about what was just taught. Some examples include: student
connections, turn and talks, teacher questioning, checking for
understanding with a thumbs up.

Expectations- CTs have set up classroom expectations that

students understand and feel comfortable following. They remind
students of these expectations but for the most part students
follow as they engage in different literacy instruction.

Responsibility- I have observed a lot of choice in the

classroom which relates to a sense of responsibility in the
classroom. For example, studentst have book shopping choice, and
choice to choose what they write about in the genre of study.

mistakes and then informing next steps from there.

questions, presenting

Feedback/Response Teachers provide feedback in many

different ways to students. For example, during conference time
or small group work, self evaulations, peer evalutions and
comments on work
