Clip Description
Here students share their stories with each other. I ask students to sit on their folders when it's not their turn to share so that their own books won't get in the way of their ability to listen.
Commentary
I really like the manner in which all the students are really engaged and excited about sharing their books. There's a lot of good oral language practice happening here in both languages. Because students are so content-focused at this age, it's difficult to get them to focus on why they picked that particular book. I like how Eucrely remembered at the end of her sharing time to say that she picked her book because it has good color.
