Positive/Negative Video Activity 2

I like how this strategy allows the teacher to go through an actual rubric of fluency.  By demonstrating each stage from 1-4 it shows students all sorts of examples, and the goal of what they want to sound like.  It also seems very useful when she asks students what is wrong with reading at 1 on the fluency scale.  The students answered by saying the reading sounds like a robot so its harder to understand.  That was an important concept for the teacher to address because it makes students realize the importance of fluency.  I also like how the teacher is constantly asking questions about fluency during the lesson.  For example, she asks students what a period means and has them explain what readers do when they get to a period.  As far as negatives go, like with choral reading, the only problem is the teacher does not really get a chance to assess individually.  Yes, she gets a vibe from the entire class, but if a reader is struggling, it's likely that the reader will be quieter because they will be less confident.
