 * Video #1:** To prepare out students to read the book, __Out of the Dust__, we did four different centers: iPad, Free Verse Poetry, Dictionary Usage and Vocabulary. Before we started the centers, the students watched a PBS video about the Dust Bowl, "Surviving the Dust Bowl". __Out of the Dust__, is historical fiction, and we wanted the kids to have a frame of reference about the time in history.

Attached is a link to a [|youtube.com]video of the lesson for the centers. This was my first attempt at doing centers, and both the kids and I learned a lot from the experience.


 * Video #2:** Our students are reading the book, __Out of the Dust__. We reached a pivital part of the book, and we wanted the students to do a "Reciprocal Teaching" activity. We read the story aloud, and the kids took notes, then completed the worksheet on their own. The next day, the kids worked in their groups to share their answers, and then come up with a common answer. There were four different jobs: leader, recorder, presenter, and task keeper. The kids did a great job, and we were really proud of them.
