[The students read aloud from their books.]

00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:05,650
Mr. Braxton: Okay, I like how you're following

00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:19,760
[The students continue to read aloud.]

00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,330
Mr. Braxton: Excellent job following along. I like
how hard you guys are working together. I'm going

00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:44,300
to give you three bonus points. Much better job
than yesterday. Great work.

00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,170
[The timer beeps.]

00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:51,890
Mr. Braxton: Okay, stop. All right, time to switch
jobs. Go ahead and switch materials. And you're

00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:55,670
going to go back to where you started, so make
sure you go back to the place where you started

00:02:55,670 --> 00:03:02,600
today. Second readers, get ready to read.
Ready...begin.

00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:22,790
[The students read aloud from their books until
the timer beeps.]

00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:23,810
[The timer beeps.]

00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:30,680
Mr. Braxton: Okay, that is...whoa...that is time.
Great job working hard on paragraph, er, Partner

00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,350
Reading today. Okay, it's time for Retell. Second
readers, you're going to retell everything. First

00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:40,620
readers, remember to ask them what happened first,
what happened next. You have two minutes.

00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:43,900
Ready...go ahead.

00:03:43,900 --> 00:04:22,400
[The students practice Retell until the timer
beeps.]

00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,520
[The timer beeps.]

00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,340
Mr. Braxton: Okay, stop, everyone. All right,
great job. Okay, time for Paragraph Shrinking.

00:04:30,340 --> 00:04:34,940
Switch materials again. Remember, first readers,
you're going to read and shrink. Second readers,

00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:40,790
remember to ask the Paragraph shrinking questions,
okay? Okay. All right, you're going to have five

00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:45,520
minutes. Ready...begin.

00:04:45,520 --> 00:05:20,260
[The students practice Paragraph Shrinking, with
Mr. Braxton offering occasional suggestions.]

00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:23,710
Mr. Braxton: That was less than ten words. All
right, yeah, that's good. Give her ten, give her

00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:26,580
three points and then go on to the next one. Great
job asking questions. Make sure you have your card

00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:34,320
out so you don't forget, okay? Uh-oh, my, I forgot
to set my timer, guys. I think we went over time,

00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,980
but that's okay, so let's just go on. It's time to
switch jobs so, second readers, go ahead and take

00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:46,360
the books. First readers, go ahead and take the
point-sheet and the question card. I noticed a

00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,820
couple pairs didn't have out their question cards.
I forgot to tell you guys to have them flipped

00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:54,980
over, so make sure that you have out the question
card with the Paragraph Shrinking information on

00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:59,340
it, so if you forget you'll remember what to say,
okay? We're going to do it for five minutes. I'm

00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:04,460
going to make sure I set my timer this time.
Ready...begin.

00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:25,490
[The students practice until the timer beeps.]

00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:26,740
[The timer beeps.]

00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:36,260
Mr. Braxton: Oh, that's time. All right, it's time
for Prediction Relay. Switch jobs. I like everyone

00:06:36,260 --> 00:06:43,250
switching really quickly. Okay, it's time for
Prediction Relay. Ready...begin.

00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:50,120
[The students practice Prediction Relay.]

00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,800
Mr. Braxton [to a student]: Did you make a good
prediction?

00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,210
Student: Yes.
Mr. Braxton: Okay, so follow along carefully.

00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:56,100
Where's the book supposed to be?
Student: The book's suppose to be...

00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,880
Mr. Braxton: In the middle. Perfect.

00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,240
[The timer beeps.]

00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:06,140
Mr. Braxton: Okay, that was the time. All right,
time to switch jobs. Second readers, get ready. Do

00:07:06,140 --> 00:07:17,730
this quickly. All right, let me set the timer. Try
not to forget again today.  Ready...begin.

00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,620
Mr. Braxton: For having his dad help him with his
paper?

00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:26,540
Students: Yes

00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:29,780
Mr. Braxton: Okay, let's see if that happens on
the next page.  Go ahead.  Good job working hard.

00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:40,720
[The students switch readers and continue their
practice. Until the timer sounds.]

00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
[The timer beeps.]

00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Mr. Braxton: Okay, stop. Switch jobs...oh no,
we...that's it, right? We already switched jobs ?

00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,750
Okay! Excellent job today, everyone. We are
finished with PALS for today. You can put all of

00:07:51,750 --> 00:07:57,940
your materials back in your PALS folders. Put the
books back in your desks. We'll collect the PALS

00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:02,610
folders in a second. As soon as everyone's quiet,
I want to tell you guys a couple things about

00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:04,830
today.

00:08:14,690 --> 00:08:23,800
All right. Okay, again today, everyone,
really good job.
