WELCOME TO DAY 7

Welcome to the Day 7 Blog.  Today I invite you to view the TWO (2) videos below.  In the videos I model how to read/analyze coded miscues.  After viewing the two (2) videos I also invite you to practice reading coded miscues.  I have provided a coded miscue sample that you can find on D2L under content.   Take some time to analyze the coded miscues and share your answers, process, struggles and celebrations with the people in your small group.  At the very bottom of this blog you will also notice that I have included a power point revisiting how to conduct a miscue.  This is the same information that you can find in your Assignments Guidelines Packet, but in a different format.

Before you begin let's get our brains ready to think about reading and analyzing miscues. Take a peek at the short video below of a child reading the newspaper.  My hope is that it will bring a smile to your face and a transition from thinking about your busy day to the work that we will take up together.

Enjoy!

 Topic(s):

 Introduction to the Developmental Continuum Readings: Phinney/Ward Overview Chapter (Skipp pp. 3-8 [Historical Perspectives] if you wish, and concentrate on understanding how the Continuum works.)

POST: 

Please make sure that you have conducted the “Practice” portion of the Day 7 Blog completed and you have responded/had a conversation with everyone in your SMALL group on D2L in your SMALL group discussion area. I have provided some prompts for you, but these are just suggestions as to what you could take up. I want you to have a meaningful discussion. That means taking up the serious work of how to analyze the miscues that your case study child is making as well. Use your group members to help you think about some of the miscues your case study child is making if you wish.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

PRACTICE!! 

Let's take some time to practice analyzing miscues and documenting this analysis on the marking sheet found in your Assignments Guidelines Packet. Please use the document below to practice analyzing miscues. You can also find this document on D2L-Content-Coded Miscues-Marking Practice #1. Feel free to print off a copy of your own.  After you practice I would like you to share your markings with the people in your SMALL group and to use this as a jumping off point to start a conversation (online in your small group D2L small group area).  Talk about challenges you found, places where you found it tricky to make a decision, tips that made it easier for you.

Directions: 

1) Print a copy of the coding sheet from your Assignment Guidelines Packet (see example below)
2) Print a copy of the coded miscues (Title: Answers to Marking Practice--see below)
3) Analyze and mark miscues
4) Upload a copy of your miscues to share with the people in your SMALL group on D2L. PLEASE UPLOADED BY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24 BY 5:00
5) Take a peek at how everyone in your group analyzed and coded the miscues.
6) Use the great community that you have to discuss issues that came up as well data/evidence that you want to interpret/reinterpret/look at closely.  Use this time and space to also make connections to what you see happening with your case study student.  PLEASE HAVE YOUR ONLINE CONVERSATION COMPLETED BY SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27.

Miscue Analysis Power Point Review

Below you will find a power point alone (no audio) that reviews the process of doing a miscue analysis.  If you would like a refresher or need some clarification in a new format please feel free to review.  This is just offered to enrich what we have already discussed. This is not required and there is no additional comments or work connected to it.  This is just for those of you who would like to review the process in a new way.
