Happy Friday CLASS Learning Community Members, Today, I wanted to share a resource with you all about self and parallel talk. I also wanted to include this comment from our community member @Lynda Mayster about an activity for self and parallel talk! "As an activity, I would ask teachers to envision preparing a packaged cake recipe with the children. Talk out the interactions. The conversational thread could include the following actions. I am holding the box as I read the directions. S1. You can help me. Now, you are emptying the cake mix into the glass bowl. I am stirring or mixing the eggs with the whisk. S2. You are pouring the milk into the bowl. You are stirring the ingredients. S1 and S2. Thank you for being so careful about keeping the mixture in the bowl. I think we can figure out the rest. We are all thinking about these actions. We just have to combine thoughts and actions with language." I hope this is helpful to you! #LanguageModeling #InstructionalSupport #BTSwithCLASS
