Instead, students ring in vocab (via gong) that they've heard several times, want to know, and now are ready to invest in and use. These become the terms that we post, investigate, generate mnemonic devices for, test on and challenge to utilize in their writing. ]]> 2022-08-17 16:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263480003 Example: John McWhorter's TED Talk ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263486941 This is a rainy-day TED Talk I have on file for a sidetrack lesson on code-switching. It comes in handy for dealing with everything from dealing with taboo language in class to differentiating between academic writing language vs. impromptu spoken language. ]]> 2022-08-17 16:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263486941 Example: First-Day Story: T.t.T ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263490895 I use Doris Lessing's story "Through the Tunnel" to do a diagnostic on student writing -- how detail-oriented they are, how much they understand theme and how well they can imitate stylistic nuance.   ]]> 2022-08-17 16:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263490895 ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263495328 2022-08-17 17:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263495328 Example: Word History Madness ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263500763 The full measure of the ELA 11-12th-grade standard on inference has students doing this:

Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain. 

This is like playing Madden '23 on the "All-Madden" level the first time you play. Start with "Rookie" ...in this case, learning to cite small batches of text where explicit evidence can be cited to generate inferences. ]]> 2022-08-17 17:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263500763 ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263505513 2022-08-17 17:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263505513 Example: Talk-to-the-text Activity ccampana1 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263509302 This can be done with any esoteric/challenging text. Pair/group students...and give them just the opening paragraphs of some difficult piece to read from your subject. Challenge them to "beat it up" with questions, personal insights, connections, reflection -- and then collaborate workshop it as a group. Then share with the whole class, adding details from each group's input. This scrapes the ice off of the challenging text. ]]> 2022-08-17 17:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263509302 https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263557011 You can have the students vote on the content they want to learn that week out of three options.

On a smaller scale, you can have three activities for class and let them pick the order. Or pick two and scrap one. ]]> 2022-08-17 18:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263557011 Ag https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263560909 Multiple intelligence activity -takes a few days to complete.]]> 2022-08-17 18:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263560909 Co-Design https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263561400 Create 2 laws - 1 Constitutional and 1 Unconstitutional]]> 2022-08-17 18:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263561400 Modify activities to be a “best fit” https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263562378 2022-08-17 18:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263562378 Write the students into a story (or word problem) by changing arbitrary names to student names. https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263564918 2022-08-17 18:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ccampana1/2p54ip3ytzf8vafo/wish/2263564918 Writing: give the students the beginning of a short story(on one piece of paper), then have each student(in order) write(pass around the paper).
