WEEK 9 Tumblr Post
For my last Tumblr post I have chosen this clip which focuses on reading ‘The cat in the hat’ with expression and fluency. I really love the way in which the students in the clip draw on specific language skills needed to develop expression and reading fluency. The clip also provides a great multi-modal approach by combining both visual and spoken examples. I know myself, that I learn best by observational watching, then applying a kinaesthetic / hands on approach, so I really found this helpful.
I would use this as a mentor text in a reading lesson within my classroom to perhaps demonstrate how the tone and volume within the readers voice can dictate how interesting the book may sound.
Thank you for a fantastic unit this semester.
All the best,
