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