Today I taught a shared reading lesson, it was my first one and the objective was have students use illustrations to understand a characters mood in a story. To start my lesson off, I discussed what a mood or feeling is and went into a discussion asking my students to share out some moods as I wrote them down.Then I showed 3 different photographs of to have my students determine the mood in the picture. One picture the guy was feeling stressed, the second picture the little girl was curious, and the third picture the girl was happy. After my students felt connected with the lesson I opened up my book to beginning modeling my thinking of how I use illustrations and text evidence to determine the mood of my characters. I opened to first page and asked my students to take out their journeys textbooks and reading response journals. Right as they began to take them out, I knew that I had made a mistake. I told them to not touch their book or reading response journal yet because Ms. Weber was just going to model at this time. I should've never had them take out their materials until I finished modeling because I realized they became distracted with trying to find the page number, copying my chart...several times I had to stop and say during this time we are just watching. Ms. Weber is modeling her thinking of the character's mood. As I released the students to work on their pages to determine the character's mood, I walked up to my CT and said that went well but I shouldn't of had them take out their materials because one they didn't need them yet, two they were distracted from watching me model, and three it wasted time. She was so proud of me that I caught my mistake because she told me that was what she was going to tell me after watching my lesson. She also told me that I need to work on time management because my introduction to mood was a little bit lengthy, so managing my time is my task to focus on.
