Again, today we were given "Choice Time." We were able to pick from four sessions to further our knowledge about grammar, cooperative learning, backwards planning, and text complexity. During the "Text Complexity" session, we learned about the three areas of text complexity, the importance of text complexity and how we as teachers can better implement complex text in our classrooms. This session was eye opening and really made me think about how I value the importance of text complexity in my classroom. What really stood out during this session was the importance of allowing our students to struggle with text and experience "productive failure."
Once back in our LALLI group Natalie, West, Sarah, and Shelly shared some of their ideas about backwards planning.
