- Describe the group or student (size of group, level, student characteristics, etc.)
A teacher, Alicia agreed to complete the Word Mapping Strategy with me. She is a fellow SIM candidate.
- Describe the length of implementation (weeks or months, amount of time per day, days per week)
We got together twice. The first time, I worked on created my documents, reading through the book, brainstorming with her. The second time we got together, I presented lesson 4 to her in its entirety.
- Submit student progress chart(s) without student names.
Alicia received a 100% on her assignments.
- Submit a narrative log of your implementation experiences (what went well and/or poorly, adjustments made if necessary, ideas generated for issues encountered, and impact.)
I found the memory table to be easier to teach (and understand) than the Word Map. I appreciate the visual aspect of the word map and the memory word. When teaching the Word Map, it was helpful to use the Cue Cards and the Definitions List. It is also helpful to use the book. I don't love how the prediction definition is sometimes different than the real definition.
