Evidence 1: Daily 5 Movie (due to upload size limitations and student privacy issues, movie can be found burned on cd)

Rationale 1: This movie was designed to explain and model the Daily 5 reading structure that would be used during our third grade classroom reading block. It offers an outline of the components and includes guidelines as to what both students and teacher will be doing when Daily 5 takes place. It also gives students a visual of what it will look like when they are actively engaged in reading activities, and appropriate behaviors and procedures are modeled for students. When showing the movie, there are places where the presentation can be stopped so that the teacher can elaborate and explain more as needed. It is also a great tool to review the Daily 5 as needed when students need a refresher.

This presentation was especially helpful to me as a teacher in that it was an effective classroom management tool. By using the multimedia format, students were especially attentive during the introduction of the Daily 5 format. In the movie, students saw other students just like them modeling appropriate behaviors in a way that made them want to participate in and enjoy the program. Many inappropriate behaviors were then avoided as the expectations were made clear prior to implementing the program.

KSD

5.K.4 The teacher understands the principles of effective classroom management and can use a range of strategies to promote routines and positive relationships, cooperation, and purposeful learning in the classroom.

By explaining and modeling the Daily 5 process in a multimedia format, students better understand the guidelines and routines so that disruptions and negative experiences are minimized.

5.S.1 The teacher creates a smoothly functioning learning community in which students assume responsibility for themselves and one another, participate in decision making, work collaboratively and independently, and engage in purposeful learning activities.

By knowing what is expected of them and what the format will look like, students feel empowered and motivated by the independence of having choices and working both collaboratively and independently with their classmates and teacher in meaningful reading experiences.

5.D.1 The teacher takes responsibility for establishing a positive climate in the classroom and participates in maintaining such a climate in the school as a whole.

The multimedia presentation includes visuals and enjoyable background music to illustrate students working together in appropriate ways, enjoying their reading instruction and independence.
