Access Test Internalization: Middle School Reflections by Daisy Myrick https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici Teacher reflections: Share at least 2 of the domains/skills you can practice during content instruction, in the weeks leading up to Access testing. en-us 2021-11-23 22:05:00 UTC 2021-12-01 21:40:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Sample: Gr 2 (Mr Rudolph/ MrFrosty) dmyrick5 https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1909340845 We plan to focus on Speaking and Writing.
For speaking we will have our kids use Flip grid and practice planning their answer, whispering it to a partner BEFORE recording. For writing we will have our students practice looking at a set of images from science (water cycle) and writing out the process they see - using complete sentences. ]]> 2021-11-23 22:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1909340845 8th Grade Math swynne5 https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923803215 Giving the students a multi step equation, already solved, then the students will write out the steps occurring, in complete sentences. ]]> 2021-12-01 21:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923803215 Listening in Science sosullivan22 https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923803602 Read a narrative from Know Atom and have a Google Form prepared for students to answer multiple choice questions.

On Writing Wednesday, we could work on describing diagrams and building writing stamina. ]]> 2021-12-01 21:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805262 6th Grade Social Studies tdobbins https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805327 I plan to focus on reading and writing.

For reading, I plan to have student work on identifying the main idea of their reading versus having them answer specific guided questions. For writing, I intend to have students work more on using complete sentences when completing their Do Nows.]]> 2021-12-01 21:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805327 Shumsky: Music https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805431 I will plan on using more sentence stems to encourage students to fully express their thoughts when using content specific vocabulary. Additionally, after they give a full answer, I will encourage them to explain their thinking as to how they arrived at that answer. 

Having students articulate more of what to do First and then Second in a multi step problem so they can clarify and expand on their thinking. 

More turn and talks with partners using content-specific vocabulary and sentence stems.]]> 2021-12-01 21:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805431 8th Grade Science cminnis https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805610 I think in interesting way to incorporate these various WIDA practices is to utilize various stations where the kids will practice that exact skill in different forms]]> 2021-12-01 21:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805610 ELA-6. To practice speaking, we will ask students to create critical questions during reading; then posting the question to the class to draw verbal responses. We will also use talking chips with sentence starters. https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923805781 We include a writing station for each skill.

This predominantly encompasses graphic organizers, charts, and relevant illustrations. While I am confident in students' current abilities on this standard, based on the formative data we've gathered, I think it will be very impactful to review and reinforce this skill immediately before they take the Access Test. 

I also will work with students on close-reading for "what is the question asking", since some of the questions are circular or abstract ]]> 2021-12-01 21:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923806687 Speaking in ELA smarlow4 https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923807071 We will practice looking at pictures/reading a narrative, plan what to say and even rehearse what to say.]]> 2021-12-01 21:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923807071 sharris171 https://padlet.com/dmyrick5/ml6loril636noici/wish/1923807135 for speaking practice try- more in class discussions and pre planning an answer in writing before recording themselves speaking. 

for reading - teaching students to use context clues and reading strategies. 

For writing- continued guided/modeled writing and continued writing stems. 

For listening- continued classkick recording function as well as having students reflect on their speaking recordings.
