Assignment 4

=Awesome Strategies for Reading by Mr. Remien's 4th Grade Class= [] I plan on using this book as an occasional refresher for me, reminding me of the things I should be teaching, asking, and modeling on a regular basis as I teach reading. This is not an in-depth, nuts and bolts, instruction guide on the hows and whys of teaching reading. Rather, it has been put together by a talented teacher and presents an overview of the main objectives and strategies that the reading teacher should keep in mind. Along with the text, in each chapter Mr. Remien has embedded video of his class reinforcing the main points by performing in song or speech. Very entertaining and yet informative and a good reminder.

The 7 Simple Machines by Shereen Vitandry [] This short book was put together by a young girl in a school in Indonesia. It begins with a short video in which Shereen explains that she has written a book explaining the 7 types of simple machines. Shereen then dedicates one page for each of the 7 simple machines. Each page has some interactive aspects that help to keep the reader engaged. Shereen also has a few simple mistakes in her book which can be used as discussion points with the class. The book ends with an interactive, 5 question quiz. Again, a couple of her answers are debatable, but things like that are thought provoking and will lead to good classroom discussion.
