Getting them to read along and annotate has been an improvement https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320069 2018-12-13 16:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320069 I have to be honest, my morning classes have been collaborative and will have good conversations, My last periods class will do it somewhat... but My middle classes are.....well...I haven't gotten as far as I would like with them due to continued behavior issues. jonessl3 https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320191 2018-12-13 16:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320191 Writing https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320217 My students' writing was more focused.]]> 2018-12-13 16:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320217 Students had rich discussions with one another. https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320326 2018-12-13 16:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320326 https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320576 My students were able to write much more strongly and their analysis of the text was much stronger.

]]> 2018-12-13 16:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314320576 My students are starting to read deeper and make connections. https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314322498 2018-12-13 16:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314322498 My students had a much deeper understanding of the content later on in the week after we had multiple opportunities to look into the text. Students became much more comfortable in using their evidence productively https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314794282 2018-12-14 19:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314794282 Writing https://padlet.com/latrecia_lewis/MackLI1/wish/314794386 Students written responses were longer as they felt more confident in adding details.
