When I think of lesson plans - I think of the purpose of what I am doing. If teachers can state a purpose for why they are teaching what they are teaching, versus an activity to "go with" something, then they have done some purposeful planning.
I am not familiar with the SRE that you are speaking of - but it sounds like if teachers are being asked to write plans for a pre/during/post that there are different skills being demanded of the students. (pre-vocabulary, during-strategy usage, post-reflection?) Perhaps the reasoning for having teachers write multiple objectives would be to understand the purpose behind each stage in the scaffolding process.

I get very confused about writing lesson plans for strategies in a scaffolded reading experience (SRE). A lesson plan has beginning, middle, and end activities and a SRE has pre-, during, and post strategies..so wouldn't a SRE be a lesson plan? I have a colleague who has her teachers write a lesson plan for each pre-, during, and post strategy.

Otherwise if kids are consciously using it as a tool, it is a strategy. As for objective...what do you want the kids to be able to do with connections and how well do you want it to be learned? Does that help or have I muddied the waters? Jennifer In a message dated 11/8/2009 1:02:07 P.M.

We are having difficulty coming to terms with our objectives. Is making connections to text an objective or a strategy/skill? I feel the objective is always to become stronger readers and the way we teach the children to become stronger readers is the strategy, but it is confusing. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
