This is a picture of a literacy chart that my MT uses when we work on daily 5. Each student has a nametag and then each differernt colored slip of paper (red,orange,blue,purple,and yellow) indicate a different literacy task that the students should be working on. This is a good way to mix up what students are doing on a daily basis and to add a bit more variety to their literacy learning. I also think it is a good tool because students are able to refer back to the chart to see what they should be doing. This helps them stay on task better. I would modify this a little in my own classroom though. My MT does not sort these and change them from the day before until reading time. This means that every day and the start of language arts the students are sitting waiting for about ten minutes while she is switchin what each student should be doing. I would definitely do this either at the end of each day or in the morning before students arrive. This would be a better use of time and wouldn't waste the literacy period time that has been allowed. I think that this idea could work in a classroom but it does not seem to be working to its fullest potential in my placement. I would recommend it only if a person is able to be really organized with it, otherwise it is just a waste of valuable time.
