My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:
We felt like your text talk lesson was well organized. We feel like it could have been better if you had not shown the pictures as you were reading. This would force students to attend to the language of the text rather than relying on illustrations to understand the story. You should have also highlighted 3-4 vocabulary words. We really enjoyed the book you picked!
My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:
1. Do not show pictures the entire time. Show pictures only at appropriate stoppage points.
2. Highlight Tier 2 words to enrich kids' language.
3. Do not ask personalized questions until the very end; they distract kids from the material.
4. There was good tone and enthusiasm demonstrated while reading.

1. Good job varying the tone of your voice while reading.
2. Ask questions that have kids wrap their minds around the story by listening to the language.
3. Don't show pictures; they will distract kids from paying attention to the language they hear.
4. Reserve questions that personal questions (e.g., how would you have felt? etc) at the wrap up.

My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Below are some suggestions:
1. Make questions more open- ended and thought-provoking. Questions should not require one-word answers but elicit rich language.
2. Show the pictures after reading a section from the book; otherwise it distracts the students from focusing on the book's rich language.
3. Pick out three to four rare vocabulary words to highlight.
The reader was not monotonous.

My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:
1. Do not summarize the book before reading.
2. Do not ask yes/no questions. They constrain potential for rich expression.
3. Bring students' attention to the language not to the pictures; therefore, do not show pictures while reading.
4. Emphasize 3-4 vocabulary words that denote concepts kids know but do not use daily: scalding vs. hot.
Very enthusiastic while reading!
