Mrs. Balash- 5th Grade ELA
In order to maximize discussions after activities, accountable-talk was
put in place to insure that students listen to each other. Before they
can share response, answer, connection, comment, or question; they
must restate or rephrase what the student before them shared. I found
this discussion technique produced richer conversation between my
students. They also needed to become more specific with evidence as
the next student may ask them to repeat or clarify their statement.
was in his house. He and the dog were in the house and they survived.
And they met his parents.
Student 1: Um I looked up, Student 5 said he read an I Survived book
and everybody was on a roof and it fell off and then his dog and then
he, they had to hide. And then he and his dog survived and then they
met their parents. And I looked up on a ipad how high the water got for
hurricane Sandy. It got to 13.88 feet high. Um Student 6,
[Another student displays ipad for Student 1- images of water rising in
New York tunnel]
Student 6: Um, he says looked how high the hurricane was and um, I
have a connection that isnt a hurricane very strong winds and
rainstorms, then one time I was out. My mom and dad were driving
somewhere, I forget where, and there were really hard winds and the
rain fell and then there were very hard rains. And I think we were
getting it from somewhere else. Student 3
Student 3: Um Student 6 said that, his parents were driving
somewhere and that there were um very rough winds and rain. And he
said that he thought it was from another hurricane somewhere else. I
have a connection with this, not what he said but with Hurricane
Katrina. I dont know how true this is, but when I went on vacation this
summer, somebody told me that there was a tornado in Pennsylvania.
Student 1: Um I noticed how there was a sidebar and there was like
many of them so like different subjects. If you wanted to go to a school,
you could go to schools like Whitehall or stuff like that. So its faster
and you dont have to search for everything. Student 2.
Student 2: Um she was talking about different sidebars and stuff. And
what me and my group was talking about was we went on the lunch
menu and we saw there was tables, and charts and footnotes. Um,
Student 3.
Student 3: She was talking about like footnotes and the lunch. Um, I
noticed, there were just like pictures right at the beginning whenever
you just tapped on it. It was like a slide (in audible.)
Student 4: My group noticed there was like a lot of bold print. Like if
you were to click on some one of the one something like students or
the lunch then you would see bold print about other topics about that
certain topic.
Student 5: When my group, went on, we, I noticed that when we there
like different headings and we saw headings. Like it said like lunch
menus and tapped on it and then it would say this or would you want
to go to this or would you want to go to this. [Student 3 reminds
Student 5 to repeat Student 4] She said that umpaused and threw
the ball.
Student 6: So me and my group, we were, we were all looking like all
the pictures, our school, and also people that were trying to start
things like doing bag pipes and all this. And also we saw how people
were doing basketball games for charity events like Malala Fund. And
also I wanted to athletics and I saw that it said all this stuff like how
varsity and freshmen play there. And also you can see their schedules.
And also it was like bold print because it was trying to tell you what it
was, it was the title. And also you can go into students part, you could
get signed in. Like this is what I realized whenever I was at home
instead of online like today, so if you want to go to the school, it will
have bold print, and the title and italics.
Student 7: He said that there were italics and title and headings that
you can go onto skyward. And I noticed that whenever we were
looking at stuff there was a lot of bold print.. And there were areas
where you could click on something and then stuff could come down
like different schools would come down for you to click on. And there
were a lot of headings and also whenever we would scroll down farther,
I saw there were different ads, and I saw there were pictures of the
Student 14: Um, could you repeat what you just said.
Student 5: Um, when Student 3 was on the ipad it tells you like whats
happening through December. So the band concert is going to be
tomorrow and the choir concert is going to be tonight.
Some of the rephrasing seems to help students edit their
comments into clearing statements for the rest of the class.*
Student 14: Um, I saw different pictures of kids doing activities at the
high school, middle school, and elementary schools. And I saw the title
of the website with the BW School logo on all the schools.
Student 12: Um she said that she saw kids doing activities for those
schools. And if you go on every single school, like if you press the
schools tab. If you go on every single one, [Student 12 demonstrates
his directions/comments on ipad as he speaks], theres pretty much a
picture on the top on or in the middle for every school. So that was
just cool that I saw that.
Student 1: Um can you repeat that?
Student 12: Um if you go on every school, there was pretty much a
picture on the top or in the middle or bottom somewhere of the
school.
Student 12: He was talking about if you go on every single school tab,
there was a picture of the students. And I noticed there was a
translator because like our country is home to all different kinds of
cultures, so like if your family talks a different language and you need
something important that it can translate for you.
Student 6: Also like I was just looking at the ipad with Student 15 and
Student 1. And I was noticing about the ads like how Student 8 said.
Like theres educational ads instead of games and all that. Theres
CCAC. Education and all this stuff and you can go to college at CCAC.
with previous student, students are also filling out Student Object SelfRating Exit Slips]
Student 6: Whenever its an advertisement, it say P-A school lunches
and whenever you press the Ad, you can go over the school lunches for
Baldwin and Paynter. And also you can get other Pennsylvania school
meals like if were having meatballs or if were having pizza. And also I
thought that it was just really fascinating to think about. All I knew was
where you get those papers for the school lunch.
Student 16: Um, we were watching the video about the pep talk for
students and teachers. And we were laughing.
Mrs. Balash: Now was this something you found on Baldwins website?
Student 3: you see a lot of bold print and stuff like that and you said
about the bullet points.
Student 4: Um he said theres a lot of bullet points. And what I found,
I think on the Whitehall and uh school link and it shows you whats
going on Whitehall Elementary School. The sound of the seasons. Like
it shows you what is going on.
Student 5: Um she said she sees a lot of. I forget what she said, but
something about pictures and bullet points, and whats going on. And I
saw headings
Student 6: Um well we found, she was talking about headings and I
saw some charts if you guys look. Well we click on this button and we
found like a million charts. What guys, whats underhand again? I
dont want to owe MVP Money
Student 3: like this (bowling)
Student 7: Um can you repeat what you said, I couldnt really hear
you.
Student 6: Um, so we found charts. Like there were charts.
Student 7: Okay so Student 6 said that her and her group found like a
bunch of charts. I wanted to say like I dont know if they count as
sidebars, but there were a bunch of links.
Mrs. Balash: There were.
Student 7: That go on the side of the app, those are kind of sidebars,
so I found a lot of sidebards. Um, Student 8, because I like the face he
is giving me.
Student 8: He said the sidebars and um well heres like the title at the
top it says Whitehall Elementary school like news, and pictures, and
headings. [Student 9 demonstrates on ipad as Student 8 explains].
Student 9: Um he said there was a title and headings. And theres a
lot of sub headings up here like links you can go to.
Student 10: Um she said they found a lot of headings. And we found
a lot of little buttons that tell you what things are. Like news,
calendars, and menus, athletics
