"Word study involves"doing" things with words-examining,manipulating,comparing, and categorizing-and offers students the opportunity to make their own discoveries about how words work."
Words Their Way
Sixth Edition
Journaling Journey (Continued...)
Provide students with feedback in their journals.
Ways to provide feedback:
- Provide feedback on the mastery of a standard, skill, or strategy
Ex. I love the way you have used area model to find the quotient!
Ex. Mickey Mouse, you have really come a long with your strategy of partial quotient. Excellent job!
- Provide feedback on the expected performance or behavior
Ex. I really like the way you've used your graphic organizer to provide at least 3 supporting details for your main idea.
- Use concrete symbols
Ex. Stickers, Stamps, Check Marks, Smiley Faces, etc.
