Due to. Culturally responsive teaching and learning also goes beyond the walls of the classroom. The following segment of this video presents a short example lesson on how to use culturally responsive techniques while presenting a meaning-making book.
The techniques to look for are the call and response action thermometer. Raise your righteous hand. Think couple. Share. Pick a stick. Cheers. Heads together and musical around the room. So. Everyone is looking at me. Everyone is looking at me. Okay guys, today to give some context, we’re going to read a new book called Amelia’s Road.
Action thermometer: Engaging students in critical thinking
The young female teacher standing in front of the blackboard and showing kids how to solve math problems and multiply. She is holding papers in one hand and white chalk in the other. Teacher is asking class do they know correct answer. Back to school concept. Preparing for the final exam.
And to introduce the book, we’re going to do an action thermometer. There is a statement in the table. If you agree with the statement, you will move to the front of the room. And if you disagree with the statement, you will move to the back of the room.
If you don’t know, you might be somewhere in the middle. Well, someone raised their fair hand so we could read the statement out loud. Sydney’s moving poems from place to place will be a lot of fun. Good job. Okay. Ready? No question? No, I like to move it Interest. Very interesting. Okay.
Think Pair Share: Promoting Cooperative Learning
Multi-ethnic family members at home reading books or studying together. African descent single mother helps children with homework. One child is adopted.
Well, now we’re going to share a thought pair. first you will think about why you moved to this part of the room. Why do you agree or disagree with this statement? And then you’ll pair up with someone next to you and talk about why you moved there. And then we will share with the whole class. I’ll pick up sticks ok. Okay. So think first. Now pairs. I. Sometimes I don’t like it because I catch it, I have to move away because I know they will go to school and they won’t know anyone.
Then it was, they won’t know anyone. Okay, everybody give me five. Give me five, everybody. Okay. This was very interesting. Listening to your conversations, I would like to share them with the team. So if I have to choose, I’m going to choose a stick. And you will share what your partner said. Okay. Pamela my partner said when he wants, he won’t like it like the neighborhood because it’s like there’s a lot of music and a lot of noise around.
Sharing student perspectives: Understanding different points of view
Group of teenagers with middle aged female teacher at library, sitting talking discussing. Education, lesson, youth, teaching, high school, teamwork, college concept.
And he just can’t sleep because he had to wake up for school and that’s why. So he wants to circulate. Okay. Okay. Next stick Carlos. it won’t be really great going to a different school because if you really won’t know anyone and then there will be bullies and then you’ll get picked on and then you’ll have a horrible life for a year at school Okay. So you prefer to stay in the same place. Okay. Okay. Another stick. Alondra.
Well, my partner said she’d rather stand in the middle because, it would be a bit of fun to go, to another school and move because you might meet new friends and you might meet new people. But he said it can be a little, sad because you might miss your old friends and you might, like, be embarrassed at other schools. So a bit of both sides. Yes. Okay, sit down, sit down. Take a load off your feet. Beep. Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep. Well done guys. Great thoughts. It’s a perfect way to introduce our book Amelia’s Road.
