The lowest area across the board in my room was comprehension, so we moved from a weekly reading journal to a weekly reading passage with comprehension questions. I alternate between fiction and nonfiction each week. ]]> 2019-03-21 13:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343762388 kmartin463 https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343762756 I have used Story Jumper with my students with poetry writing.  They are able to create an online book of the poems they've written.  ]]> 2019-03-21 13:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343762756 https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343762772 Our poetry unit went extremely well. First, I modeled the type of poem. Then collaboratively we wrote that type as a class. Finally, students wrote a poem on their own. Seeing, practicing, and implementing resulted in incredible student work!

If a student is struggling with a certain type of comprehension question, I use this to guide my small group instruction for the upcoming week. This also gives my students a weekly practice with reading material on a screen (since that's the format their district and state tests will be). ]]> 2019-03-21 13:15:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343763421 https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343763761 2019-03-21 13:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343763761 https://padlet.com/mbrosebrough1/wb71ap2wepe2/wish/343763853 Into the book, read theory, raz kids

Examining characters, settings, problem/solution, and the rise and fall before we even start writing. Some students have been begging to just start writing their story so an analogy was provided that asked the students, "If I had to run an errand but didn't know what errand I was running, would the errand ever get ran?"
