GLT lesson

I'm am currently working on my guided lead teaching lesson and have come to a little bit of a halt. I'm teaching how to make meaning out of text. One of the concepts I plan on teaching is how to keep track of questions while you read. I am not sure if I should try to do a hands on activity with my students, or just make a chart and come up with ideas. I am at a loss. I wanted to see if any of you had any ideas of lessons I could possibly use. I am also having trouble coming up with a GOOD idea for talking to my students about how readers make meaning out of text. I know that I can just use a chart or have students list ideas, but I feel like it would be more valuable for students if I could come up with a mini lesson.

How is everyone doing with their lessons? Are you guys planning on teaching the first 2 weeks or the 2nd 2 weeks? What concerns do you have?

I am really nervous that my mentor will have to drop whatever we are working on, in order for me to be able to teach my two-week lesson. It would be kind of nice if we didn't have restrictions on when we could teach our lesson. Are you guys running into this problem? How do you plan to handle it? I find I'm having this problem with both my math and literacy lesson plan. I am hoping my stress level with go down soon. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I don't think i've been this stressed out in a long time. It's so hard when all of our work is due in the same two weeks. See everyone on Tuesday. I look forward to using a workshop method and talking about our lessons.
