Thick and Thin Questions

 

Free Download – Thick and Thin Questions

Used many times in the classroom, thick and thin questions are a great way to encourage students to pose interest, deeper questions and move their understanding towards higher order thinking.

I have printed, laminated and then placed magnets on the back so I can throw these questions quickly on to the whiteboard and test students understanding. They also double up as great printables for a classroom poster.

Please study the preview images or download the preview to make sure you understand what you are downloading. This product is designed for Year 1 to Year 6 students. Please contact me if you have any questions prior to download. If you enjoyed this free download please leave a four star rating.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Comprehension Activity: Nonfiction Reading and Writing Analysis”

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS and tagged free on by (updated on )

Nonfiction Reading and Writing Analysis

 

Although all Middle School and High School programs of study require core whole-class nonfiction readings, as often as possible, students should choose nonfiction informational reading that hooks their personal interest.

The kids will be more inclined to want to read a topic of their choice (ownership) which will lead to the desire to express their thoughts and interpretations clearly and coherently. Their reading and writing proficiencies will blossom and solidify. This is a win-win teaching/learning idea for teachers and students.

This FREE 8-page product offers:
1. Almost 2-pages of Teacher Notes and teaching suggestions.
2. A Student Directions page that lists Types of Articles as well as Types of Newspapers, Magazines, Online article sources and Texts.
3. A detailed analysis worksheet for note-taking
4. A Ten Sentence format page so students can write a summary of the article using information from their notes, and
5. A format for students to expand their writing proficiency by turning a summary into a full-length essay.

This FREE Common Core and Bloom’s Taxonomy aligned activity should be used with any core nonfiction reading as well as for raising reading comprehension thinking and writing skills proficiencies.

For a product that coordinates well with this one, here is a packet that focuses on the parts of essay writing, so when it is time for students to write an expository piece they are prepared to create a focused and supported composition. Download it from
Writing: Write Right! Analytic Writing Made Easy

and to go along with that, check out these writing rubrics
Writing: Write Right! Incredible Critique Forms and Rubrics

Enjoy a Teach It Now Day,
Connie

Don’t Let the Pencil Craze Get to You!

Are pencils driving you crazy?


Students not having a pencil?


Losing them? Breaking the tip?

The pencil craze got to me too!  It doesn’t need to!  During my student teaching we had cups with pencils at each group that we sharpened every morning and ensured there were plenty in each cup, which was great!  That was in first grade. Over the years, I became use to about 2-3 students per class not having a pencil, therefore, I always purchased a box or two at a time and handed pencils out to those students.   This year was a little different for me and the pencil craze got me!  So many lost pencils, broken pencil tips, or students just didn’t have a pencil.

I felt pencil crazed!  A solution must be found!!!

After much thought I came up with my “Pencil Station”!

Group and Skit Evaluation Rubric

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their own success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.

This self evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their own work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid in particular allows the students to become organized and responsible for their own individual parts.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:
 Helps the teacher justify the final mark;
 Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;
 Helps parents and students better understand the task required;
 Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file in order to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.

It’s teaching made easy!

Now that using a protractor is a Common Core skill for 4th grade, here is a little freebie to help your students, (and maybe you too, if it has been a while since you’ve had to use one!)

You get a large version of the poster which can be projected on your interactive white board or printed out poster-sized. There is also a page with a smaller version, which is great to print out for students to glue into their math notebooks.

Please check out my other geometry products, which go into more detail about how to use a protractor not only to measure angles, but to sketch specific angles.

These are some amazing weather facts I learned about when teaching about weather 15 years ago. I created these posters for my classroom bulletin board using Appleworks. I rediscovered them a while back and felt they were worth reworking and sharing with others. I hope you enjoy them.

April is Poetry Month

Don’t Let the Pencil Craze Get to You!

Mary Moore of Moore Resources

Are pencils driving you crazy? Students not having a pencil? Losing them? Breaking the tip? The pencil craze got to me too! It doesn’t need to! During my student teaching we had cups with pencils at each group that we sharpened every morning and ensured there were plenty in each cup, which was great! That was in first grade. Over the years, I became use to about 2-3 students per class not having a pencil, therefore, I always purchased a box or two at a time and handed pencils out to those students. This year was a little different for me and the pencil craze got me! So many lost pencils, broken pencil tips, or students just didn’t have a pencil. I felt pencil cross eyed! A solution must be found!!! After much thought I came up with my “Pencil Station”!

virginia-live-oak-440351_1920 smallI just love teaching poetry and spring is the perfect time. For me, inspiration comes from being outside, perhaps walking on the beach inhaling the salty ocean air, or just walking through the woods with my husband and beautiful husky who is no longer with us.

 

I want my classes to experience the wonderful feeling of just being outside and creating. That’s why I  teach poetry in April or May, new awakenings, flowers coming up, birds beginning to nest, and the warmth that replaces the winter cold.  So I pick a sunny day, take the class outside and have them write a nature poem using all of their senses. I tell them to breathe in the fresh air, so we take some deep yoga breaths, then sit on the grass and listen to the sounds of nature with closed eyes, making notes of what they hear, the things they see, and what they feel.

We might also hug trees, smell flowers and listen to the sounds of insects while watching them complete their instinctual activities.  One of my favorite things to do is to have the kids find a tree to lie under, to look up through the branches at the sky, or to watch the leaves fluttering in the breeze. To listen to the sound of birds and watch little insects buzzing about their business. I ask them to look at the colors and to pretend that they are the color, or the insect, or the bird, or the tree.  I want them to feel the strength of the tree and realize how secure and grounded the tree is because of it’s roots that run so deeply under the ground.

My students have created  some amazing poems from this activity and many of them have gotten published in a book entitled  Celebration of Young Poets-Creative Communication, Inc. The web address is www.poeticpower.com.

This is an example of a poem that a 6th grade student wrote after completing this activity. To tell you I was blown away by this is an understatement.

Azure Drake

Azure blossoms at my feet

Beside the road smelling sweet

To the shade of a Sycamore tree

Swaying branches over me…..Whispering

Footsteps coming down the path

An ancient one with wooden staff

Long white beard and cloak blue smeared

Electric eyes not to be feared…Scintillating

A Druid friend from long ago

The magic words sure to know

Staff held high over azure flowers

Secret words of light and power…..Conjuring

Rustling in the indigo bed

Rising up scales, tail and head

Wisdom eyes, majestic wings

Breath of lightning, Dragon sings…..Thundering

Climbing on blue scaled back

Soaring on white cloud track

Snow capped mountains, Seas of sand

Born of air Free of land….Dreaming

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “PALS Reading Strategy Cooperative Worksheet”

PALS Reading Strategy Cooperative Worksheet

 

This Worksheet is great for ANY reading selection.

I find PALS very effective. Unlike class reading, where minds tend to wander, the PALS strategy actively engages every student. Each student must be reading or listening (in order to write the summary) at all times. Genius!

Partners motivate students to read well and give them a partner to help with pronunciation, if needed. Fluency and comprehension improve. Cooperative learning is experienced. Win-win!

The greatest part of this product is the “example.” Students get a chance to see the process before they are expected to participate.

Enjoy!
