It helped me get to know them more than just an information page because I asked them questions through the game.]]> 2017-08-29 13:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/183385781 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184053735 To review literary terms, students got into groups and used the board to apply the terms to their favorite movie (e.g. diagramming the plot line with Freytag's). It was a great way to find out how much they know and for them to teach/review each other.]]> 2017-08-31 18:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184053735 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184074055 To discuss our summer novel, we used musical discussion like musical chairs. I played music while they walked around then stopped the music and they chose a partner to discuss their question with. We played for fifteen minutes.]]> 2017-08-31 19:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184074055 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089005 I think the students are beginning to really enjoy the SSR at the beginning of class.]]> 2017-08-31 20:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089005 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089248 I began using a Bernabei grammar chart to keep up with grammar terms I've taught with grammar mini lessons. ]]> 2017-08-31 20:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089248 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089325 To read "Notes to 6th Grade Self," I read the story straight through, and then let them break into groups of 3-4 and do a small version of Literature Circles. They are finding words, figurative language, etc. My Pre-AP really liked it, and I'm doing it with my Regulars on Tuesday! ]]> 2017-08-31 20:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089325 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089327 Haven't started it yet, but I take a poem and remove several nouns or adjectives and have students fill them in with what they think fits. ]]> 2017-08-31 20:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089327 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089347 I needed a "filler" for my 5th period. I printed pictures that depict a dystopian society. They wrote a free verse, 20 lines, incorporating figurative language and the characteristics of dystopia.]]> 2017-08-31 20:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089347 https://padlet.com/anne_granado/lin88opy34bt/wish/184089424 I did the same thing Holly did with the summer reading musical group discussions. The kids loved it.
