performance. The class can use the norms discussed at the beginning of the class to write a
self-evaluation and group-evaluation rubric.

The rubric is displayed for all students so that they clearly understand the expectations for
participation. Students grade their first attempt at Socratic seminar, and provide suggestions for improvement.

The teacher will remind students that in an earlier lesson, they recalled the feelings they felt on the

first day of school. Students quickly share how they felt with a partner. The teacher will ask students

to brainstorm synonyms for feelings. Students should come up with the word “emotion.” The teacher

will use the “Get to the Root” strategy for teaching this word. Students will write the word in their

notebooks. The teacher will provide the following prompts to the class: Name a prefix (e-). Is there a

suffix? Name it. (Yes, -tion) Look at what’s left- that’s a root. Is there a root you know? (mot). Where

else have you seen that root? (Motion, motor) What might that word mean, because you know the

root? (to move). Check the beginning and ending of the word, too. Based on the other parts that are

combined with the word, what might it mean? (something that strongly moves you) The teacher will

explain that emotions move us, or cause us to react, such as being happy might make you smile or

being sad might make you cry.]]> 2017-06-14 18:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mamarca/lgmrh9d2xybv/wish/176444777 Component 3: https://padlet.com/mamarca/lgmrh9d2xybv/wish/176444778 Systematic Instruction: Students read independently but fill out one part of the graphic organizer with a partner.

This connects the students to their own lives and experiences

This benefits the higher level students as well since they will retain 95% of what they teach someone else. Also, for the essay, students have the choice to work independently, with their partner, or with the teacher based on their comfort level and need. https://padlet.com/mamarca/lgmrh9d2xybv/wish/176444900 2017-06-14 18:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mamarca/lgmrh9d2xybv/wish/176444900
