This will allow most volunteers to work with a student one-on-one for 20 minutes and then switch to another student to work one-on-one for 20 minutes. This will also provide a smaller group- only half the class- for the read aloud. The only needs would be one volunteer still willing to read aloud to the groups rather than work one-on-one, and one volunteer to be a time keeper (usually the Volunteer Coordinator).<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><u><span style=\"color: #000000\">First 20 minutes:<\/span><\/u><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Group A<\/b>\u00a0(6-7 students)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Lead by:\u00a0<\/b>one volunteer<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Activity:\u00a0<\/b>read aloud (assigned book for Form 2 &amp; 3) AND discussion<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Group B<\/b>\u00a0(6-7 students)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Lead by:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a06 volunteers working one-on-one<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Activity:<\/b>\u00a0read from text and answer questions orally and in writing<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\">&#8212; Transition, groups switch, volunteers stay, 5 min. &#8212;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><u><span style=\"color: #000000\">Second 20 minutes:<\/span><\/u><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Group B<\/b>\u00a0(6-7 students)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Lead by:\u00a0<\/b>one volunteer<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Activity:<\/b>\u00a0read aloud (assigned book for Form 2 &amp; 3) AND discussion<\/span><\/div>\n<div><b><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Group A<\/b>\u00a0(6-7 students)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Lead by:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a06 volunteers working one-on-one<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>Activity:<\/b>\u00a0read from text and answer questions orally and in writing<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Once the ASC volunteers join Literacy workshop, then each session will start out as a simultaneous small group read aloud followed by a 15 minute one-on-one activity.

(Modeling active listening is key- volunteers should not be in the back of the room talking to each other. If they need the time to prep for the next activity, they could do that, but should be in a different room as not to cause a distraction.) GVP volunteers will continue to be the ones reading aloud at the beginning of the semester, but once the ASC volunteers join, we ask that GVP volunteers working with Form 2 &amp; 3 take a &#8220;step back&#8221; to allow the ASC students the experience of reading aloud to the girls and facilitating the discussions.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;activity&#8221; portion of the period will be one-on-one. The GVP and ASC volunteers for Form 2 &amp; 3 will each help a student one-on-one with discussing the activity orally and doing a very short piece of writing. (If for some reason volunteer turnout is light one day, the volunteers can always work with the students in small groups.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Literacy Workshop is facilitated and supported by volunteers. We need a volunteer coordinator to\u00a0serve as facilitator, help match students and volunteers (randomizing the match up is important), help keep the\u00a0time, and make sure the sessions run smoothly. The teachers, Anne &amp; Amy B., will\u00a0post the assignments in the classroom for each Friday LW. The VC usually comes in a few minutes earlier to be sure they understand the assignments. Once the volunteers and students arrive, the VC matches them and gets them started on the assignments. Once the session starts, the VC can then work with students also and\/or monitor the students\/volunteers working on their assignments. If there is something missing from the assignment, the VC notifies the staff or if instructions run out, the VC makes copies, etc.\u00a0<b>At the moment we do not have a primary Volunteer Coordinator,\u00a0so please let me know if you are interested in this volunteer role ASAP!<\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000\">Lastly, we need at least six GVP volunteers for the sessions with Form 2 &amp; 3 to work with ASC students.
