Module 4: Video Analysis


            I really liked how this teacher started off asking the student his goal when reading the text. I feel as though it is very important for students to establish a goal for themselves when reading. Not only was the student able to state that he wanted to be able to read fluently, he was able to explain what fluency meant. After the student completed the reading, the teacher was able to explain specific components of what she liked about his reading style. The student that I am currently tutoring is a struggling reader and I always find different ways to compliment him during his reading. The next time I complete a tutoring session with my student, I am going to ask him what his goal is when reading the text. This will allow me to evaluate if he knows or even has an overall goal when it comes to reading. If he does not state a goal, I can help him come up with a personal goal in order to set for himself.
            In this next video, I loved how the students were able to share with one another in order to explain something they recalled. Allowing them to hold the television set created a spotlight on the particular student that was speaking and makes the student feel as though their comment to the class was very important. I have found the videos thus far in the course to be very beneficial and I can use them in my classroom.
