In preparation for our PLG today we have been asked to formulate a hypothesis or hunch around our inquiry. We were asked to generate a minimum of three hunches from what you have learnt so far about your students and their learning environment. Below I have listed my hunches that I am looking forward to discussing with other at our PLG this afternoon.
1. If I encourage my students to share their thoughts and ideas in pairs, then they will gain the confidence to share these ideas in guided reading sessions.
2. If I focus on setting up table groups and discussion points before guided reading sessions then the students will improve their ability to have conversations about what they are reading.
3. An emphasis on using images and specific generic tasks to show what inferring and other reading comprehension skills will enhance my students ability to understand more complex parts of the text and answer questions that require inferring and referring back to the text.
4. An emphasis on understanding how to have basic conversations as well as teaching social skills and norms will enhance my students ability to share during reading sessions.
