Interactive Perspective
According to Dr. Almasi, the interactive perspective not only helps students learn to read, but also teaches them to be strategic processors and thinkers (Laureate Education, Inc., 2011c). At the emergent level of literacy development, read-alouds are ideal because the teacher can be there to support the students with challenging key vocabulary words (Laureate Education, Inc., 2011b).
For the following lesson from the interactive perspective, I have selected the text One by Kathryn Otoshi (2008). According to the literacy matrix, this story falls into the narrative and semiotic category (Laureate Education, Inc., 2011a). Throughout the story, the students will participate in a think-pair-share activity where they will be cooperating with their peers. After we read the story, we will be filling in what we learned in the KWL chart.
In the link below, you will be able to view my lesson plan for the interactive perspective.
