The co-construction that is portrayed in the video was well received by both the teacher and students. Though this was not my own class (as I am no longer in the classroom as a teacher at this point), I have observed this class a number of times throughout this school year. Because the students had at least seen me in their classroom before, they were somewhat comfortable with working with me. The students were engaged in the co-construction and many participated by verbally providing key details for each key topic. Though the time period for this co-construction took longer than I intended (or is recommended), it appeared as if the students found this activity worthwhile and enjoyed the change of pace in their class.
I believe if the students were already familiar with the routine, then they would have responded quicker and we would have been able to move through the entire routine quicker. Also, if I were using this in my own class, I would not fill in everything at one time. We would build it throughout the unit by identifying the key topics on the first day of the unit then adding details as we added new knowledge; this would cut down on amount of time needed. In addition, if I used this regularly in my own class, I would have given my students a blank FRAME at review time and asked them to fill in as much information as they could remember in order to see how much they could fill in from memory.
