Independent Reading Response Journal

This entry was posted in 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS Uncategorized on April 6, 2015 by saraoberheide (updated on April 6, 2015)

I have always struggled with helping my kids to understand what they are reading, when they read independently. If you have struggling readers you know that they will read the book, take the AR test and completely bomb. They can’t remember what they are reading from day-to-day.

So, I created this awesome reading journal. I have my struggling readers fill out one page per day. They will work on reading skills such as identifying setting, character traits, main idea, cause/effect, and so on. It has really helped my kids with comprehension because they are becoming more engaged with their chapter book. Kids also track the page they started reading on and finished so they are held accountable for actually reading during silent reading time. I found that just keeping track of their page number makes a huge difference in motivation!

This a small sample of my task card collection. These task cards are larger than normal (8 questions each) so students can work on just one card. More advanced students may complete more than one card.
Great for literacy centers and small group intervention!
A “user friendly” method of displaying them is to laminate them, punch a hole in the corner and attach them with a binder ring.

Includes:
• 6 Task Cards (8 questions each) + Answer Keys (Both black and white and colored backgrounds included)
• Recording sheet to show completion of each card

Topics include:
• Fact and Opinion (Decide if each statement is a fact or an opinion.)
• Fact and Opinion Writing (Choose a topic and write one fact and one opinion statement.)
• Fact and Opinion (Read both statements. Decide which is the opinion and which is the fact.)

Here is a list of all my available Task Cards:
Task Cards: Compare and Contrast (Common Core Grades 3-5)
Task Cards: Prepositional Phrases, Run-Ons, Fragments and Complete Sentences (Common Core Grades 3-5)
Task Cards: Prefixes, Suffixes, Roots (Common Core Grades 3-6)
Task Cards: Multiple Meaning Words and Homophones (Common Core Grades 3-6)
Task Cards: Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences (Common Core Grades 3-5)

POETIC DEVICES QR CODES {RESEARCH}

POETIC DEVICES QR CODES

This is one of my favorite months – for one thing it is a festive season marked by the advent of Easter – and then, it’s National Poetry Month where an appreciation for all things poetic is fostered.

Now, we all know that in order for our students to write creative poems, they must have a sound knowledge of the poetic devices that play an instrumental role in impressing the reader, so with this in mind, I designed 120 QR Codes (40 color, 40 blackline, 40 answer codes) to make conceptual knowledge more concrete. Instead of me lecturing about the elements of poetry, students can find out for themselves by scanning the QR code on each card, writing their responses, and then checking the answers. Now isn’t that learning by Inquiry in itself?

Wish you a Happy Easter and creative National Poetry Month 🙂

ALL students need to warm up!

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS TEST PREPARATION on April 2, 2015 by angiekratzer (updated on April 2, 2015)

We all know that stronger students tend to have more background knowledge. More reading in the home, a broader range of experiences, and less television often result in a student who simply knows more content. Put 25 of those advanced learners in a room, and we can skip some of those instructional hooks we use with weaker students . . . or can we?

We may not need to frontload as much with these students, but they still need to warm up. Even a car that has just had a tune up needs to run a bit before hitting the road in February. At the secondary level when students are changing classes, a lot happens in those five minutes between rooms. One social interaction, text, or bad grade in the previous class will cloud that student’s perception of what happens in your room. In order to access prior knowledge and even skills, get that brain warmed up with a rigorous exercise.

Here’s a bundle of twenty bell ringer exercises for advanced high school students. Take a look and decide if they are right for your students. Enjoy 25% off the list price.

Henry’s short story, “Gift of the Magi.” There is a teacher’s instruction page, which details how I have used this document in my own classroom, specifically targeting the importance of the gradual release process.

This text lends itself to teaching students the importance of annotation targeting vocabulary, textual evidence for setting and characterization as well as allusions.
