__ Evidence: __
Make a brief synopsis, with 1 example of how you might teach **shared reading & interactive writing** in class: Rather than making my own synopsis I thought I would borrow from the experts: Shared Reading - Learning and singing a fun Song - "Down By the Bay" is a well known song and is also available as a Big Book. In order to learn the meaning of the strange terms found in the song, you can read the book and show the pictures and discuss what a polka dot tail might actually look like. Once the students are familiar with the meaning of the new words then you can continue to learn the words to the music and eventually record the song. Shared Reading - Extending the familiar text to a word study center- "One Two Three Four Five Once I caught a fish Alive" is a great song for numbers, rhyming and choral or chanting. Once the students have learned the words to the song and acted out how the fisherman was bitten on the finger. Using cut up bits of the song students can put them back in order again. Interactive Writing - Morning meeting, math problems and writing workshop - During the morning meeting you can invite the students to add the missing words in your morning message. During this time students can write the missing words using their fingers to write on the carpet. In math when learning to write number stories, students can help come up with ideas for the number stories. During this time students can write the numbers and matching pictures on whiteboards. In the Poetry Unit for Writing Workshop students can help the teacher plan and write a poem, some students may use magnet words, some may write words on white boards and offer their suggestions, some may come up and write the words on the paper.

Record in my planner the times that I was successful in incorporating **shared reading & interactive writing****.** I recorded in my planner the times I had intended to use Shared Reading (SR) and Interactive Writing (IW) as a teaching method. However I did not record if I actually stuck to my plan, I usually do, but there are times when i do not, so my planner is not 100 percent accurate. However without a doubt I purposefully planned a minimum of 3 SR and IW a week. This year I also added it more frequently to my unplanned routine. I do believe with this as one of my goals and having researched it further and talking to colleagues it helped me realise that I was actually using it more frequently that I had first thought and I was much more intentional with my implementation of it.

Plan and implement the new ideas, take photos, video, commentary of the event when possible. I did not take any photos or videos, this was an unrealistic expectation for myself.
