Today at the end of independent reading Davontae shared a cool insight on Lunch Lady. he noticed a frame with a visual clue of the assistant principal finding a robot arm (foreshadowing). This was cool because you could see that Davontae was gathering and synthesizing information around the plot and what he predicted might come next. Whether through pictures or words, this is a critical part of the reading process.
But what was cooler was that Donte raised his hand eagerly to say that Hector had been making a robot for the science fair (suggesting that this could be where the robot arm was from). Which was true! Donte hasn't read that book for weeks, and he was able to recall that tiny detail! Things that Donte reads seem to be sticking with him more, now it's just about how we get him to synthesize, order, and arrange all those things that stick in his mind. What goes on in Donte's mind? How is it organized? How does he structure his thoughts?
