I showed improvment this year, but still not as much as I want to see, so I am definitely interested in creating something that is a combination of the two strategies.

This is a strategy that I will implement this year. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242743710 devidente https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242744561 I love the idea of actively working toward having students activate what they already know to help them engage with a new concept or text. This is an excellent way to allow students to explore and make connections based on their perceptions instead of forcing a teacher perspective that may shape or inhibit student's engagement. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242744561 sjordanLA https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242744991 I see this working well with reading and writing assignments. I've noticed the more I understand their thinking, their motivations for how they complete assignments, on top of noticing patterns, as the teacher, it never fails to surprise me, the things that never even dawned on me they were thinking. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242744991 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745125 I chose multiple choice passages a week before I knew I would assign them, pulled difficult vocabulary (normally 5-8 words), and assigned the vocabulary to students. They basically had to complete a Frayer model for each word.]]> 2022-07-13 16:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745125 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745164 I haven't used a card sort in forever. It's a great way to preview a text. It takes work to set up, but if you're going to read the same year after year (Abigail Adams, Banneker, Kelley, etc.) it would be worth it to put the effort into creating the cards. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745164 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745725 Always/Sometimes/Never - I want to try this to help students sort out distractors and misconceptions.]]> 2022-07-13 16:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745725 sjordanLA https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745970 I often tell students as the course begins that this is not their typical Eng course, that just about everything will be new to them, almost like learning a new language in a way. I like this strategy to help intro new concepts. Esp. like day 2, after things were introduced to them and before we get deeper with them. I also like that it ties well to rewarding discussion and allows diversity in "acceptable" responses. This reminds me of the Grab Bag I do with them already. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242745970 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746077 Connect the Dots
I would use this strategy to give students practice in finding connections between claims and/or specific evidence from a brainstorm of their own in order to strengthen their ability to 1. create effective transitions between claims, 2. organize their essays effectively, and 3. discover nuances therein.]]> 2022-07-13 16:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746077 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746111 I provided a passage that was cut up into parts before they read it and had them work in groups to use the clues in the passage to put it in the order they felt it belonged in. Then I reviewed them on depth charging (topic strings, vertical elaboration---whatever you want to call the skill) and gave them a chance to think back over their organization of the passage before I revealed how the author chose to order them.]]> 2022-07-13 16:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746111 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746389 This is such a simple concept that encompasses so many effective practices. Modeling and holding students accountable for skills like annotating helps to build thinking patterns and sets an effective model for those students who do not yet have refined thinking patterns, especially when it comes to reading comprehension. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242746389 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747012 Sentence frames are very valuable to teach format with "gradual release" when students become more confident about their writing. I use them for thesis statements, but will probably begin to use them to frame analysis paragraphs at the beginning of the year. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747012 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747306 After learning about the CRE Playbook through the NMSI sessions last year, I tried to incorporate some strategies into my classes. I think that having a name for a strategy is helpful because it allowed me to be intentional with what type of participation/discussion I wanted to have with my students. It also helped some of my more reluctant speakers to talk more because instead of me asking the students to just share, they were focusing on specific skills.]]> 2022-07-13 16:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747306 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747528 Students were given back drafts with targeted feedback. They had to complete a reflection form that told me, in their words, what they needed to work on to improve the draft as well as how and where they actually improved the draft. This year, I will have them label their changes in the draft. I also want to use this strategy when getting them to improve their sentence fluency. ]]> 2022-07-13 16:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747528 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747560 I'd love to incorporate more of this skill as many students need to see a tangible connection between the skills they learn in the classroom and real-life. The times I have done this have all been beneficial to the students and as a beautiful by-product, the students feel empowered and that their voice matters:)]]> 2022-07-13 16:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747560 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242747595 Make Student Thinking Visible - I've had students annotate/take notes on readings in previous years.

Provide students a common text.
2. Provide groups of students a question about the reading. (Some groups will have
the same question.)
3. Provide groups either a correct or an incorrect answer to the question.
4. Students justify as to why the answer they were given could be the correct answer. 5. Student groups share/compare their justifications.
6. The justifications are presented to the class, and the class votes on the best.]]> 2022-07-13 16:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242748035 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242748670 I used Peardeck this past year to provide targeted feedback to students.

I am constantly using metaphors and extended metaphors to teach. The kids will often begin using my metaphor language to discuss ideas in whole/small group discussions. This method helps navigate abstract ideas and hard-to-describe nuances.]]> 2022-07-13 16:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242748735 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242749076 I do not teach in Texas so I have never seen these strategies presented in this format before today.  However, a lot of the strategies remind me of some literacy based training I have completed over the years.  For a long time, my school placed a lot of emphasis on the Collins Writing Program (https://collinsed.com/), which utilized strategies I saw on this document.  The specific strategies that stood out to me were 3-2-1, Academic Vocabulary, Concept Anchor Chart, Get to the Point, and Odd One Out.  ]]> 2022-07-13 16:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242749076 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242749248 This seems more for English II or literary, but this would be a good strategy for literary circles or book club groups - roll the dice to have to talk about a pre-set idea/question for a student's independent reading.  Could also be used with jigsawed articles or research. - Catherine Schmid]]> 2022-07-13 16:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242749248 https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242749263 This is my jam.

I'm interested in this strategy because our school is moving to block scheduling, which I've never experienced.  Though there is no obvious inherent cognitive benefit, when students are used to 45-minute classes, this can prove beneficial in other (SEL) ways. Could work as a transitional element to introduce a lecture, independent work, etc.]]> 2022-07-13 16:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson172/vwvzht5zd2jjwl1g/wish/2242752348
