ALL FALL PB&J VIDEOS

The purpose of this PD is to unpack all the possible teaching points contained within one title. 

I would not and I do not suggest you teach all the teaching points in one title in one day/week (I will discuss more on this in the PD). The intent is to read the picture book aloud to your students first before using it as a mentor text. Using the book as a mentor text means you are using the book during your reading or writing strategy minilesson to teach one skill and strategy that readers or writers use to make meaning. While we will discover 20+ teaching points for each book, one should be taught at a time and the others should go into your "teaching bank" to be taught later on in the school year. This PD will equip you with the skills and know-how to teaching skills and strategies when one is not provided for you. For example, lots of schools and districts are provided with reading and writing units of study, or lots of schools and teachers use the reading and writing strategies book, however neither one of these resources are all comprehensive. When a strategy for a reading or writing school does not exist, you will have the power to create one because you have completed this PD. 

The protocol that we will follow to find the teaching points is scalable meaning you will be able to do this on your own with any book after the PD, or teach other teachers how to unpack a picture book. 

The Zoom code will be emailed to attendees the night before the event. 

The price of this PD does not include the purchase of the book title. Please print this attachment before attending the PD.
