The "Nifty Thrifty Fifty" (Leveraging Morphemes)

dionnej4 — 2023-08-29 11:30:56 UTC

While there can be controversy around the usage of word walls, having explicit instruction around morphemes (smallest units of meaning, ie. "re-" or "dis-" or "-less") is crucial to building background and developing a student's resourcefulness when engaging unfamiliar language.

OPEN Rubric (fill-in TEMPLATE)

dionnej4 — 2023-09-24 12:49:51 UTC

To deliver excellence one needs to know what is expected. Rubrics work. Use this rubric as an open template for any and all academic and behavioral skill-building and/or projects and students will be far more likely to meet and exceed standards with explicit feedback provided in relationship with the skill's/project's rubric (to step it up even more, have the kids co-construct what a 1, 2, 3, or 4 looks like in relationship to the skill or project!).

This is a VERY, what I call, 'right-now-resourcing' article by Shelly Rees around the specific ways educators can quickly and efficiently activate prior knowledge, build background, and escalate academic vocabulary. Considering how language-embedded learning targets will drive what input needs to be made comprehensible and what background needs to be co-constructed is crucial to student ownership and capacity - this article helps with that lift.

A simple tool like this SWIRL Data-Catcher can be a great way to note (by circling) when a 'domain' has been chosen by a student, and be a great guide for individual student conferences when striving to increase productive language, ie. Speaking, Writing, Illustrating. Always seeking to make gathering data doable and durable - check it out!

"Within, Beyond, About" Question Frame Resource (from F&P's Continuum)

dionnej4 — 2024-01-16 00:17:16 UTC

If you have ever struggled to think of questioning within comprehension-generating student conferences or responsive small groups, this resource is great, and is beautifully broken down so that the questioning is appropriate to a kid's current/next-stage capacity as a developing reader!

The Power of the Pause

dionnej4 — 2024-02-02 14:39:23 UTC

As we are co-developing the capacity of our students to engage and sustain attention, they need us to prioritize the pause as an instructional move. The pause elicits thinking, increases buy-in, and when done with consistency, messages accountability. Though this article might be a bit activating for some educators, such a great (quick) read!

Cornell-Note-Making, Simplified (TEMPLATE)

Using a Morphology Wall!

dionnej4 — 2024-02-17 15:07:21 UTC

A content-specific word wall can be a wonderful resource; consider a morphology wall as an amped up and more cross-applicative resource that is student-generated and referenced on the regular!

Teaching Greek and Latin Roots

dionnej4 — 2024-02-17 15:10:24 UTC

A solid article on expanding vocabulary AND comprehension through read-alouds, graphic organizers, creating mental images, and think-alouds.

dionnej4 — 2024-02-23 15:19:23 UTC

There are three types of vocabulary: every day, cross-disciplinary, and technical (content-specific). Being really planful with plenty of follow-up for cross-disciplinary and technical vocabulary is huge for all learners - in terms of language development AND content mastery.

Color-Coded Argumentative Essay Format/Checklist

dionnej4 — 2024-02-26 22:36:41 UTC

26 Sentence Stems for HOTS Conversations in the Classroom

dionnej4 — 2024-03-10 15:42:04 UTC

If we want for our students to use and practice language and new concepts, providing sentence frames (Accountable Talk Stems) will enhance the interactions. This will not only develop language and content ownership; it will also empower our students to engage in conversations with active listening and respectful courtesy evident. A win, for sure!

Vocabulary Trees!

dionnej4 — 2024-03-22 12:43:00 UTC
