Reading Workshop

                                                        Reading Workshop

Every week I participate in my reading workshop. This week, in our workshop we had to film a flipgrid of our self reading the retell that we all wrote last week. I was a bit nervous that I would forget my sentence I was meant to read. But I got ready to do my first attempt. 

Our goal was to look at the camera while reading, just so it looked like we were reading it off by heart. It makes it look better. It also makes people interested at listening to the video because you are giving them eye contact. 

I decided to take my first attempt. To make it look like I was reading the retell of by heart, I would get a sentence in my head then say it.  After I said one sentence I would pause the flipgrid, so then I could have time to memorise the next sentence. It took a little while but I got through it. I took a couple of attempts to get the video that I was happy with.  

I liked doing my attempts. Once I had finished my final attempt and I was happy with it. I posted my video / flipgrid. Then I linked it to the task sheet, so there is evidence that I  did a flipgrid and so the teachers have easy access to the video when editing and checking people's work. 

That was one of the activities that we did this week for our writing workshop. Then we had to rap up a little bit of information about the retell. I liked my reading workshop this week.  I learnt heaps and found out lots of new information I the reading workshop this week. 

The End

  1. Hi Betsy,
    I like how you talked about everything you have to do to make a perfect flip-grid, next time I do a flip grid I will definitely try your amazing tactic. Your reading group reminds me of mine doing retells. I think your blog is amazing. From Lila.
