Students in 3rd grade are often asked to evaluate the difference between primary and secondary sources in Social Studies, as well as identifying when what source is needed. The teacher may introduce the concept of primary vs. secondary sources by watching an interview of a first-hand account and then read a newspaper article about the same event. The teacher would then ask the students what was different between the two sources, and organize the responses on an anchor chart. Once this learning engagement is complete, the teacher can go into the ELA guidebook curriculum to the story of Sacagawea via "Lewis and Clark and Me." This book is presented as a secondary source of information about their journey. Next, the diary entry of Lewis can be presented as a primary source of the adventures of the trio. The teacher may ask, "What do you notice that about the point of view in the primary source vs. the secondary source?" Hopefully, the students will recognize that the primary source has first person POV and greater detail, while the secondary source is somewhat removed. ]]> 2023-08-14 16:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2661653126 Example activity thinking skills madamechev_tk https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2661654098 Create original works and ideas; use existing works and ideas in new way
Students will work individually for this experience.

Students will choose an instrument or object to modify. Students may also create an original instrument or invention.

Students will answer questions to create an id of what it looks like, what it sounds like, what its purpose would be.

Students will design/draw their instrument/invention.

Students will then attempt to physically create their objects.

1. Intro: define focus/concentration. Watch a video about focus and discuss examples/non-examples. Complete inventory about things that distract us or do not distract us and discuss.

2. Play a group game that requires focus/concentration. Have the group focus on one person and observe them for a minute. That person will leave the room and change one thing about themselves (roll a pant let, switch their shoes, etc.) and come back. The rest of the students will try and determine what is different. Another game option: have one person leave the room, the rest of the room follows the actions of a chosen student in the room (i.e. clapping, snapping, etc.) and the person from the hall comes back in and guesses who the group is following.

3. Debrief: What went well, what was difficult, what strategies can we use to increase our focus? Make a list and have students choose one to try for the next few days. ]]> 2023-08-24 15:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2671807174 Exchanging information (listen, interpret, speak) (ELL, Specialist, 5th) https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2671829716 Talking Triangles -with guided support and a gradual release of responsibility-Use Talking Triangles to support turn-taking, student's will rephrase, summarize and add-on/share a connection in response to other students.

1. Students are given the direction to keep the beach ball in the air. They cannot talk to each other. 
2. After doing this for a few minutes, stop the activity and regroup. What were the challenges? How can we problem solve? Show a short video of Pixar shorts (i.e. penguins working together to get away from a whale, without talking) and discuss. What did we notice?
3. Talk about the video and personal roles/responsibilities. What is everyone's role in the group/game? How will we communicate effectively with each other by regulating ourselves and communicating with empathy and respect? 
4. Play the game again and debrief - how did it go with established group roles? How did we do with support each other when issues arise?

  2. Debrief game. How did you know someone was thinking of you without using words? 
  3. Create anchor chart: What are other ways we communicate without using words?
  4. What are reasons we would need to communicate without using words?

In a small group discuss how we respond to triggers and how our choices can make a problem bigger or smaller, For example, if I tripped on Terri’s backpack when I came into the classroom I might ask her if I could move her backpack to under her desk. Or I might get mad and yell at her that she always keeps her backpack in the way. If I choose the first option I make the problem smaller and if I choose the second option I make the problem bigger. 

Ask students to develop ideas of things that might “trigger” them and to come up with possible responses. Students consider the possible options and determine which solution best solves the problem

Students role play scenarios for the class.

Review the CASEL capacities (self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationships management, responsible decision making) with students. 

To play the game, students have background knowledge of these CASEL areas. They draw a card with a scenario that fits into one of the CASEL area, reads it, and answers the question. For example, "you have had a fight with your friend, how would you work to solve this?" 

Debrief: how did we have to think critically to solve the conflicts? What if we didn't think critically and acted quickly to respond? This discussion would be continuous.

Learner profile attribute: Principled - working honestly and with integrity
ELA Lesson: Students can practice analyzing and attributing causes for failure by reviewing previous work and coming up with a plan for improvement. 
- The teacher can pass back graded assignments for students to review. 
- Students look over their returned assignments and identify the following:
1. What section(s) of the rubric did you miss points on? Why?
2. What could you have done instead?
3. For the next assignment, what is a clear, explicit step you could take to improve your grade in this section? Write it as an "I will" statement. 
Reflection: students will engage in a  discussion to answer the questions.
- How did we practice analyzing causes for failure? 
- How did we attribute causes for failure? 
- Why is this skill important?]]> 2023-10-17 14:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2750886126 MYP Self-management Resilience https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2750926168 Can failing make you successful?

Learner Profile Attribute: Reflective - students have to determine the qualities of a good assignment and assess other students' work.
Lesson: Hang student work on the walls. Complete a "Glow & Grow" Gallery Walk. Students form a group and each group starts at a poster. At each poster, the group will select one "glow" (something that the student did well) and one "grow" (something they could do to improve their work). Students can share their feedback with the groups, and the group can use the feedback to make improvements or adjustments to their work. ]]> 2023-10-17 15:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2751066447 Research - Information literacy skills https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2751267634 Skill: Collect, record, and verify data.
IB Learner Profile Attribute: Thinker, Principled, Inquirer
Lesson: Pose a question that students need to answer (for example, the topic or prompt of a writing assignment such as the CWT). Provide them with the necessary tools for research (library database, online access). Students should gather relevant information and categorize it based on the needs of their assignment rather than just copying information straight from other sources. Students should identify where their information is coming from and whether or not it is a valid, credible source. They should be able to present their findings in writing or by explaining them to their peers/teachers.]]> 2023-10-17 17:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2751267634 Media Literacy https://padlet.com/madamechev_tk/mppilyjscu59v9cl/wish/2751272166 Demonstrate awareness of media interpretations of events and ideas (including digital social media)
