Wednesday 9/4/2019

NJSLS: NJSLSA.R1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences and relevant connections from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

NJSLS: RI.7.8. Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claims 

1. On the first day of class, students will be introduced to policies and procedures, Google Classroom, Padlet, and other technology that will be used in the classroom for the duration of the year. 

2. Students will navigate through Google Classroom and learn how to use all of the functions and access the teacher-created assignments. 

3. Students will be involved in getting-to-know you activities so that a comfortable classroom environment is developed. We will play Kahoot and learn about one another. 

4. Students will collaborate with each other to create ELA activities they would like to participate in for the year and Classroom Rules. They will write it on a large post-it and we will read them together and keep the reasonable ones and edit the ones that will not work. This way it is a democratic classroom.

5. Students will end the day with learning about multiple intelligence through a survey, article, and exit survey on Google classroom to collect the data of which intelligence style works best for them.

Thursday 9/5/2019

 NJSLSA.R1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences and relevant connections from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 

 NJSLSA.R7. Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words. 

1. (Revisit) Students will end the day with learning about multiple intelligence through a survey, article, and exit survey on Google classroom to collect the data of which intelligence style works best for them. 

2. Students play Kahoot to test prior knowledge or any knowledge on multiple intelligence. Afterwards, they take a survey, as does the teacher, and we discuss the results. 

3. Students (stand) and pass the Harry Potter plush toy and state their first top intelligence of the three. The students go into groups based upon their learning style and discuss the learning style, write down the learning style on construction paper, and look at the suggested activities from the survey and see which ones worked for them in the past and which ones they believe will work for them in the future. 

4. Students, after collaborating in the groups based upon learning styles, each group member shares their top activity that helps them learn best. 

5. At the end of the lesson, the students label their discussion board comments on Google Classroom as their top three and share it for the class to see. The teacher also participates and shares her learning style. 

6. In some class periods, the students were able to view a Six-Word Memoir video. This video shows examples of six-grade students that have developed six-word statements that emphasize who they are as a person. After discussing some examples that stood out to the students, the children crafted their own six-word memoirs to describe themselves.

Friday 9/6/19

NJSLSA.R4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone. 

1. Students write in their journal a letter to themselves designating the goals they have in language arts and their other classes for the school year. Each student is given a colored sticker. Once the 15-20 writing session in up, the teacher will call the sticker color that is reading for that day. The students who have that particular color will read. If there are additional volunteers, the teacher will listen to them and share her own goals she has with her students for the year. 

2. Students post the Six-Word Memoirs they created on a Google Classroom discussion board. The teacher will give feedback on the memoir stating whether she thinks all of them will work or if edits need to be made. This is done with the reply section. 

3. After students receive instant feedback on the discussion board, the students will start using construction paper to craft their memoir and create pictures to correlate with the message of the memoir. 

4. Students play a short ELA review Kahoot.

5. Students get to pick one brain break from the list one the classroom wall to use for the last 3 minutes of class.
