The teacher introduces Amelia’s Road and guides students through the action thermometer activity, explaining how to position themselves based on agreement or disagreement with a statement.
Speaker C
Alright guys, today for making meaning we're going to read a new book called Amelia's Road.And to introduce the book, we are going to do an action thermometer.There is a statement on the board.
If you agree with the statement, you're going to move to the front of the room.And if you disagree with the statement, you're going to move to the back of the room.If you kind of don't know, you can be somewhere in the middle.Will somebody raise their righteous hand so that they can read the statement out loud?Cindy?
Speaker A
Moving homes from place to place would be lots of fun.
Speaker C
Great job.All right, ready?Any questions?I like to bullet.
Interesting.Very interesting.
Students think individually and discuss their positions with a partner, then several volunteers share diverse perspectives on moving homes or schools with the whole class.
Speaker C
Okay, so now we're going to do a think pair share.First you're going to think about why did you move to this part of the room?Why do you agree or disagree with this statement?
And then you will pair with someone next to you and talk about why you moved there.And then we will share with the whole classroom.I will pick sticks.Okay.All right, so first think, Now pair.
Speaker A
Sometimes I don't like it because I have to move away from.
They go to school and they won't know no one.So then they were.They're gonna not know anybody.
Speaker C
Everybody give me five.
Speaker A
Everybody give me five.
Speaker C
Okay.That was very interesting listening to your conversations.I'd like to share those with the group.So if I pick, I'm pick a stick and you are going to share what your partner said.All right?
Pamel?
Speaker A
My partner said he won't like, like the neighborhood because it's like a lot of music and a lot of noise around and he just can't go to sleep because he gotta work up for school and that's why.
Speaker C
So he wants to move around.
Speaker A
Mm.
Speaker C
Okay.All right, next stick.Carlos.
Speaker A
It won't be really great to go to a different school because if you, you really won't know anybody, then there'll be bullies and then they'll pick on you and then they make a horrible life for a year in school.
Speaker C
Okay, so you'd rather stay in the same place?
Speaker A
Mm.
Speaker C
Okay.All right, one more stick.Alondra.
Speaker A
Well, my partner said that she'd rather stand in the middle because it would be a little fun going to another school and moving because you might meet new friends and you might meet new persons.But she said it might be a little sad because you might miss your old friends and you might get, like, you might get really embarrassed in other schools.
Speaker C
So a little bit on both sides.Yeah.All right, take a seat.Take a seat.
