01:00:01:23	01:00:02:26	>> How do students
01:00:02:26	01:00:03:24	use questioning
01:00:03:24	01:00:04:25	to get into the book?
01:00:04:25	01:00:05:27	Let's go Behind the Lesson
01:00:05:27	01:00:06:27	and see how teachers
01:00:06:27	01:00:08:25	make this happen.
01:00:14:29	01:00:16:05	>> We noticed that when kids
01:00:16:05	01:00:17:18	first came into your classroom,
01:00:17:18	01:00:18:22	that they started reading
01:00:18:22	01:00:19:22	right away.
01:00:19:22	01:00:21:02	Can you talk about that?
01:00:21:02	01:00:22:14	>> Yeah, originally I had them
01:00:22:14	01:00:24:12	just waiting for the morning
01:00:24:12	01:00:25:26	meeting time to begin,
01:00:25:26	01:00:27:17	which was them wasting
01:00:27:17	01:00:29:17	their learning time in school.
01:00:29:17	01:00:31:13	So I decided to have them read
01:00:31:13	01:00:32:21	instead.
01:00:32:21	01:00:33:23	As long as I'm prepared
01:00:33:23	01:00:35:07	in the morning, I go around
01:00:35:07	01:00:36:14	to the different students
01:00:36:14	01:00:37:23	who are reading and just see
01:00:37:23	01:00:38:25	what kind of books
01:00:38:25	01:00:40:03	they're reading.
01:00:40:03	01:00:41:03	Are they reading books
01:00:41:03	01:00:42:08	that are just right for them?
01:00:42:08	01:00:43:11	Or are they reading books
01:00:43:11	01:00:44:12	that are too difficult
01:00:44:12	01:00:45:17	or too easy, in terms of their
01:00:45:17	01:00:46:28	recreation reading.
01:00:56:03	01:00:57:11	Thinking about this book,
01:00:57:11	01:00:59:21	I wanted to see what adults
01:00:59:21	01:01:01:08	thought about it.
01:01:01:08	01:01:03:12	And we're going to show you
01:01:03:12	01:01:06:24	a discussion about this book.
01:01:06:24	01:01:08:18	And I want you to pay attention
01:01:08:18	01:01:10:05	to three things.
01:01:10:05	01:01:11:05	What does a discussion
01:01:11:05	01:01:12:12	look like?
01:01:12:12	01:01:13:10	What does a discussion
01:01:13:10	01:01:14:10	sound like?
01:01:14:10	01:01:15:11	And what does the discussion
01:01:15:11	01:01:17:10	feel like?
01:01:17:10	01:01:18:29	I'll start.
01:01:18:29	01:01:20:22	I was really curious
01:01:20:22	01:01:23:09	about the ultimatum part.
01:01:23:09	01:01:24:09	Were any of you guys
01:01:24:09	01:01:25:18	curious about that?
01:01:25:18	01:01:26:22	>> I thought, what would happen
01:01:26:22	01:01:28:03	if the farmer got rid
01:01:28:03	01:01:29:17	of the cows and sold the cows
01:01:29:17	01:01:30:23	to another farmer
01:01:30:23	01:01:32:05	and just got some new cows.
01:01:32:05	01:01:33:01	>> And just said,
01:01:33:01	01:01:34:02	you're not going to do it?
01:01:34:02	01:01:36:14	Get out!
01:01:36:14	01:01:37:27	>> I wanted to know if they
01:01:37:27	01:01:39:04	can type, does that mean
01:01:39:04	01:01:43:03	that they can read?
01:01:43:03	01:01:44:07	>> Let's go behind the lesson
01:01:44:07	01:01:45:11	that you taught today.
01:01:45:11	01:01:46:16	What were your objectives
01:01:46:16	01:01:48:02	with this lesson?
01:01:48:02	01:01:49:22	>> I wanted to introduce the
01:01:49:22	01:01:51:25	students to book discussions,
01:01:51:25	01:01:54:11	and how they would talk about
01:01:54:11	01:01:57:09	books in their everyday life.
01:01:57:09	01:01:58:22	I wanted to also introduce them
01:01:58:22	01:02:01:01	to thick and thin questions.
01:02:01:01	01:02:02:06	We're going to do a different
01:02:02:06	01:02:03:25	discussion now.
01:02:03:25	01:02:05:10	Think about what that
01:02:05:10	01:02:07:17	discussion looked like to you.
01:02:07:17	01:02:08:18	What did it sound like?
01:02:08:18	01:02:10:01	What did it feel like?
01:02:10:01	01:02:11:03	We're going to have
01:02:11:03	01:02:12:20	a different discussion now.
01:02:12:20	01:02:14:09	And I want you to compare
01:02:14:09	01:02:16:24	the two discussions.
01:02:16:24	01:02:18:17	What color was the duck?
01:02:18:17	01:02:22:10	>> White.
01:02:22:10	01:02:23:19	>> What was the farmer's
01:02:23:19	01:02:26:00	last name?
01:02:26:00	01:02:28:05	>> Farmer Brown.
01:02:28:05	01:02:31:03	>> What did the cows want?
01:02:31:03	01:02:33:10	(all answering)
01:02:33:10	01:02:34:10	>> Okay, that's the end
01:02:34:10	01:02:35:13	of that discussion.
01:02:35:13	01:02:36:23	Thanks for talking with me
01:02:36:23	01:02:37:23	about it.
01:02:37:23	01:02:38:28	What did you notice about
01:02:38:28	01:02:40:03	that one, Kaitlyn?
01:02:40:03	01:02:42:02	>> It was really boring,
01:02:42:02	01:02:43:20	because everybody knew
01:02:43:20	01:02:45:13	the answer to the questions.
01:02:45:13	01:02:46:22	They didn't get to think
01:02:46:22	01:02:47:26	about it, because they were
01:02:47:26	01:02:49:03	"right there" questions.
01:02:49:03	01:02:50:07	>> What do you mean they were
01:02:50:07	01:02:51:07	right there questions?
01:02:51:07	01:02:52:09	We've been working on that.
01:02:52:09	01:02:53:09	What does that mean,
01:02:53:09	01:02:54:10	"right there"?
01:02:54:10	01:02:55:17	Anybody want to help her out?
01:02:55:17	01:02:56:19	C.J., what does that mean?
01:02:56:19	01:02:57:28	>> Right there in the story.
01:02:57:28	01:02:58:29	>> Are those fun questions
01:02:58:29	01:02:59:26	to talk about?
01:02:59:26	01:03:00:27	Did it look like we were having
01:03:00:27	01:03:02:00	fun when we were discussing?
01:03:02:00	01:03:02:28	>> No.
01:03:02:28	01:03:04:15	>> I'll tell you, I did not
01:03:04:15	01:03:06:26	like asking those questions.
01:03:06:26	01:03:09:11	And I, yeah, I was a little
01:03:09:11	01:03:10:14	embarrassed to ask those
01:03:10:14	01:03:11:16	questions, because I wasn't
01:03:11:16	01:03:12:24	even getting to learn about
01:03:12:24	01:03:14:25	what Mrs. Gaffney, Mrs. Benzaid,
01:03:14:25	01:03:17:02	Mrs. Cram and Mrs. Flanigan
01:03:17:02	01:03:18:24	knew about the story.
01:03:18:24	01:03:19:25	I didn't get to get into
01:03:19:25	01:03:21:14	what they were really thinking.
01:03:21:14	01:03:23:05	I have a book.
01:03:23:05	01:03:26:27	It is called "Sector 7,"
01:03:26:27	01:03:30:05	by David Wiesner.
01:03:30:05	01:03:31:14	There's something really special
01:03:31:14	01:03:33:02	about this book,
01:03:33:02	01:03:35:14	really, really special.
01:03:35:14	01:03:37:18	It doesn't have any words.
01:03:37:18	01:03:39:10	>> Oh, sweet!
01:03:39:10	01:03:41:12	>> So, it doesn't have
01:03:41:12	01:03:43:00	any words.
01:03:43:00	01:03:44:00	But does that mean that
01:03:44:00	01:03:45:09	there's not a story inside?
01:03:45:09	01:03:46:25	>> No.
01:03:46:25	01:03:49:00	>> Your job today,
01:03:49:00	01:03:50:13	as third-graders,
01:03:50:13	01:03:53:05	is just to look at the story,
01:03:53:05	01:03:54:06	think about what's happening
01:03:54:06	01:03:55:24	in the story.
01:03:55:24	01:03:57:19	Think about questions
01:03:57:19	01:04:00:25	you might have in your head,
01:04:00:25	01:04:02:02	that you would want
01:04:02:02	01:04:04:17	to talk to somebody about.
01:04:04:17	01:04:07:26	(all talking)
01:04:07:26	01:04:09:15	It talks about all different
01:04:09:15	01:04:10:16	types of clouds:
01:04:10:16	01:04:12:03	altocumulus, fog,
01:04:12:03	01:04:15:06	cirrocumulus, cirrus.
01:04:15:06	01:04:16:10	And that's something actually
01:04:16:10	01:04:17:17	that we're going to be
01:04:17:17	01:04:19:08	learning about in science.
01:04:19:08	01:04:20:12	>> In some of the materials
01:04:20:12	01:04:21:20	that you chose today,
01:04:21:20	01:04:22:29	there were obvious connections
01:04:22:29	01:04:23:24	to your content areas,
01:04:23:24	01:04:25:00	especially to a couple
01:04:25:00	01:04:26:10	science concepts.
01:04:26:10	01:04:27:09	Can you talk about
01:04:27:09	01:04:28:26	the importance of doing that?
01:04:28:26	01:04:31:10	>> Well, I think using
01:04:31:10	01:04:32:24	those connections
01:04:32:24	01:04:35:10	stretches the student's brain.
01:04:35:10	01:04:36:28	Like today, when I'll be
01:04:36:28	01:04:38:08	teaching about science, and
01:04:38:08	01:04:39:22	about weather and cloud types,
01:04:39:22	01:04:41:05	I might say, what kind of clouds
01:04:41:05	01:04:43:13	do you think were in "Sector 7."
01:04:43:13	01:04:44:19	And then that will get them
01:04:44:19	01:04:46:04	thinking, oh, you can see
01:04:46:04	01:04:48:17	science concepts everywhere.
01:04:48:17	01:04:49:18	While I was reading this,
01:04:49:18	01:04:50:22	I thought to myself,
01:04:50:22	01:04:52:11	how did this boy feel
01:04:52:11	01:04:53:13	this whole time
01:04:53:13	01:04:55:27	while this was going on.
01:04:55:27	01:04:56:28	(all talking
01:04:56:28	01:05:01:05	and laughin at once)
01:05:01:05	01:05:02:26	Show me the face that this man
01:05:02:26	01:05:09:28	would have.
01:05:09:28	01:05:12:25	I'm going to give you,
01:05:12:25	01:05:15:19	give you a strip of paper.
01:05:15:19	01:05:17:06	And on the strip of paper,
01:05:17:06	01:05:19:10	there's a question.
01:05:19:10	01:05:20:13	I'd like you to talk
01:05:20:13	01:05:22:11	with the person next to you.
01:05:22:11	01:05:23:23	And when you're done,
01:05:23:23	01:05:25:14	be ready to share about
01:05:25:14	01:05:28:25	what you talked about.
01:05:28:25	01:05:30:13	>> Did a boy or girl
01:05:30:13	01:05:32:10	visit Sector 7?
01:05:32:10	01:05:34:19	>> Yeah, I know it's a boy,
01:05:34:19	01:05:37:08	because we saw the pictures
01:05:37:08	01:05:39:07	in the story.
01:05:39:07	01:05:41:03	>> It could've been a girl.
01:05:41:03	01:05:42:19	>> I'd just run away
01:05:42:19	01:05:44:08	and try to find something
01:05:44:08	01:05:46:13	to fly down to earth.
01:05:46:13	01:05:47:16	>> There was a big building,
01:05:47:16	01:05:50:10	so it could've been New York.
01:05:50:10	01:05:52:00	>> Or Chicago.
01:05:52:00	01:05:53:24	Chicago is in New York.
01:05:53:24	01:05:55:12	>> Yeah.
01:05:55:12	01:05:56:26	>> So, when you draw a picture
01:05:56:26	01:05:58:25	of something, it comes to life.
01:05:58:25	01:05:59:26	>> He wanted everything
01:05:59:26	01:06:01:03	to be exactly the same
01:06:01:03	01:06:03:11	so he won't be all mad.
01:06:03:11	01:06:04:21	>> Thick and thin.
01:06:04:21	01:06:05:29	We're going to put the questions
01:06:05:29	01:06:08:06	that we just came up with,
01:06:08:06	01:06:09:11	and we're going to put it in
01:06:09:11	01:06:10:17	the thick category
01:06:10:17	01:06:12:21	or the thin category.
01:06:12:21	01:06:14:16	>> What do you think happened
01:06:14:16	01:06:17:20	when the boy got home?
01:06:17:20	01:06:18:23	>> Raise your hand if you
01:06:18:23	01:06:21:12	think that's thick question.
01:06:21:12	01:06:22:13	Raise your hand if you
01:06:22:13	01:06:24:21	think that's thin question.
01:06:24:21	01:06:25:19	Why do you think
01:06:25:19	01:06:27:03	it was thick question?
01:06:27:03	01:06:28:07	>> Because it's like
01:06:28:07	01:06:30:05	a hard question to answer.
01:06:30:05	01:06:31:09	>> So, what do you have to use
01:06:31:09	01:06:32:06	when you're answering
01:06:32:06	01:06:33:11	this question?
01:06:33:11	01:06:34:14	Kevin?
01:06:34:14	01:06:35:21	>> You have to use your brain.
01:06:35:21	01:06:36:27	>> You have to use your brain.
01:06:36:27	01:06:37:26	We're thinking about thick
01:06:37:26	01:06:38:29	questions, meaning the ones
01:06:38:29	01:06:40:21	that get us to think more
01:06:40:21	01:06:42:21	about the story and
01:06:42:21	01:06:44:06	have a good discussion
01:06:44:06	01:06:45:16	about the book.
01:06:45:16	01:06:47:01	We're changing the type
01:06:47:01	01:06:48:17	of book we're reading.
01:06:48:17	01:06:51:09	"Sector 7" is over there
01:06:51:09	01:06:52:19	on the easel.
01:06:52:19	01:06:53:29	This is the "Weekly Reader."
01:06:53:29	01:06:55:02	What is the difference
01:06:55:02	01:06:56:14	between these two?
01:06:56:14	01:06:57:10	How are they different?
01:06:57:10	01:06:58:24	Daniel?
01:06:58:24	01:07:00:12	>> I think that one
01:07:00:12	01:07:01:17	is non-fiction.
01:07:01:17	01:07:02:19	And I don't know if
01:07:02:19	01:07:04:12	that one over there is.
01:07:04:12	01:07:05:20	>> Okay, we'll help you.
01:07:05:20	01:07:06:23	This one's non-fiction,
01:07:06:23	01:07:08:21	so that one, they're opposites.
01:07:08:21	01:07:10:08	Non-fiction and...
01:07:10:08	01:07:11:21	fiction.
01:07:11:21	01:07:13:24	This one is about real life.
01:07:13:24	01:07:14:29	This one's about real life.
01:07:14:29	01:07:17:12	This is actually happening.
01:07:17:12	01:07:19:17	Can you have a book discussion
01:07:19:17	01:07:22:18	about non-fiction?
01:07:22:18	01:07:24:22	>> Yes.
01:07:24:22	01:07:26:00	>> We're going to find out.
01:07:26:00	01:07:27:04	>> Didn't you switch completely
01:07:27:04	01:07:28:06	when you used your
01:07:28:06	01:07:29:17	"Weekly Readers," though?
01:07:29:17	01:07:30:26	How deliberate was that?
01:07:30:26	01:07:32:00	The "Weekly Reader"
01:07:32:00	01:07:35:07	gives some news type reading,
01:07:35:07	01:07:36:16	some non-fiction reading.
01:07:36:16	01:07:37:25	So, it was deliberate in showing
01:07:37:25	01:07:39:16	that you can talk about
01:07:39:16	01:07:41:01	fiction versus non-fiction.
01:07:41:01	01:07:42:13	But also, I wanted to use
01:07:42:13	01:07:46:03	some current newspaper.
01:07:46:03	01:07:48:04	>> Even in the summer,
01:07:48:04	01:07:51:20	the temperature on the planet's
01:07:51:20	01:07:55:14	surface is below zero.
01:07:55:14	01:07:56:14	>> Tell me what you
01:07:56:14	01:07:57:13	talked about.
01:07:57:13	01:07:58:14	What did you talk about
01:07:58:14	01:07:59:20	with your partner?
01:07:59:20	01:08:00:22	>> What kind of machines
01:08:00:22	01:08:02:01	are on Mars.
01:08:02:01	01:08:03:00	>> So, what do you think
01:08:03:00	01:08:04:01	about Kaitlyn's question?
01:08:04:01	01:08:05:10	She wonders about the machines.
01:08:05:10	01:08:06:11	Is that a thick question
01:08:06:11	01:08:07:17	or a thin question?
01:08:07:17	01:08:08:16	>> Thick.
01:08:08:16	01:08:09:15	>> Why thick?
01:08:09:15	01:08:10:15	>> Because there's
01:08:10:15	01:08:11:19	a lot to talk about.
01:08:11:19	01:08:12:18	>> Thick because there's
01:08:12:18	01:08:13:16	a lot to talk about.
01:08:13:16	01:08:14:28	Ashley, what are your thoughts?
01:08:14:28	01:08:16:06	>> We were talking about, like,
01:08:16:06	01:08:17:24	how do they get the machines
01:08:17:24	01:08:19:19	to go on Mars.
01:08:19:19	01:08:20:17	>> That's really
01:08:20:17	01:08:21:29	a thick question.
01:08:21:29	01:08:23:00	>> Yeah, you would have to do
01:08:23:00	01:08:24:08	a lot more research to find out
01:08:24:08	01:08:26:23	the answer to that question.
01:08:26:23	01:08:28:03	>> Teachers will probably
01:08:28:03	01:08:29:17	identify you as the Mrs. Pingel
01:08:29:17	01:08:31:22	in the "Into the Book" series.
01:08:31:22	01:08:32:27	And they might be interested
01:08:32:27	01:08:34:01	in knowing how being involved
01:08:34:01	01:08:35:13	with that series has
01:08:35:13	01:08:36:18	informed your thinking
01:08:36:18	01:08:38:11	as a classroom teacher.
01:08:38:11	01:08:39:18	>> The creators of the series
01:08:39:18	01:08:40:28	sent me books to read
01:08:40:28	01:08:43:04	and, and got me...
01:08:43:04	01:08:44:04	Made sure that I was current
01:08:44:04	01:08:45:06	on certain strategies,
01:08:45:06	01:08:46:08	so definitely reading
01:08:46:08	01:08:47:10	about those strategies, and
01:08:47:10	01:08:48:11	then applying them
01:08:48:11	01:08:49:12	to my own classroom.
01:08:49:12	01:08:50:16	My set up has changed, too.
01:08:50:16	01:08:51:22	I've put the reading center
01:08:51:22	01:08:52:22	in the middle of my classroom
01:08:52:22	01:08:53:26	as the focus,
01:08:53:26	01:08:55:01	making books more accessible
01:08:55:01	01:08:56:21	to my students by putting them
01:08:56:21	01:08:57:26	on the wall,
01:08:57:26	01:09:00:12	so they're faced front.
01:09:00:12	01:09:02:08	And also, I'll read things
01:09:02:08	01:09:03:25	in the script and I'll think,
01:09:03:25	01:09:05:01	oh my gosh, that's a great idea
01:09:05:01	01:09:06:03	to do in my classroom.
01:09:06:03	01:09:07:22	And I'll try that as well.
01:09:07:22	01:09:08:18	>> I want to thank you
01:09:08:18	01:09:09:19	for letting us visit
01:09:09:19	01:09:10:18	your classroom today.
01:09:10:18	01:09:11:19	I know a lot of teachers
01:09:11:19	01:09:12:20	are going to be excited
01:09:12:20	01:09:13:29	to be able to see Mrs. Pingel's
01:09:13:29	01:09:15:25	real classroom, as well.
01:09:15:25	01:09:17:00	>> Yeah, in the flesh,
01:09:17:00	01:09:18:19	here I am!
