For student-led conferences this week we chose an activity for each subject. One challenge was introducing parents to the new reciprocal teaching method that we have been using with our students. We often use this method when we are doing our read-aloud time in class. To mirror this experience for parents, as they were being led through the activities by their child, I recording the following podcast of the current chapter of Holes that we are on. Since this chapter is new to students they were able to show how they predict, summarize, question and clarify during our read-aloud time. Using an audio splitter we had students, with families of up to 6, listen to this book on headphones that were connected to our class iPods. It was so encouraging to watch them guide their parents through the read-aloud process.
