Text Masters bring reading, writing, and presenting strategies to any class.]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144194 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144225 Using an online assessment as a way of collecting data on each of your students so the student, teacher, and parent can track their progress and growth without taking teachers time away from class discussions. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144225 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144305 Writing checklist - Katie Thul
Developing checklist for each stage of writing for the student. This allows them to self-regulate the stage they’re at (intro, body, conclusion, for example). The research showed this aided students in developing self confidence as a writer and allowed the teacher ample amount of time to conference in the writing workshop. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144305 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144340 Using virtual reality in the classroom allows for more cross-curricular learning, immerses students in new and different experiences that reaches their senses, and helps them develop digital literacy skills. VR has many different apps that can be used for different types of learners to meet their specific needs. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144340 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144407 Students in my classrooms will use science notebooks to record investigations, questions that may come up, and observations they make. After the investigation, students will record and analyze, synthesize, make arguments, evidence based claims and hypothesis based off the investigations. This is a great way to differentiate abilities in the classroom because students learn at their own pace and make discoveries on their own individualized learning. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144407 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144435 My article was about readers theatre with a twist- podcasting. This allows students to grow as readers by being in a small group, getting a script, and practicing it every day starting Monday. On Fridays, student's record, reread, and re-record until they get the final piece they want to share. Then they upload it for everyone to hear!]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144435 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144497 Poetry offers an engaging way for students to pick up on rhythm while reading. It is also a more accessible genre because of its tendency to be shorter in length, which is less intimidating to struggling readers. The descriptive nature of poetry opens students up to a wide range of vocabulary, while allowing them to use strategies such as context clues to infer meaning.]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144497 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144644 Allowing a specific amount of time each day to have students independently read a book of their choice in the classroom. As teachers we need to teach students to read but also teach them to want to read. This motivates students to develop a reading habit and build on their reading proficiency and skills. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144644 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144661 Creating and keeping student interests allows for a deeper understanding of content.

Students are encouraged to go through the research process while also experimenting with reading online texts and how to find them. All of the reading is set up in guided reading or reciprocal teaching style to help students understand potentially difficult language in research articles.]]> 2019-04-25 15:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144725 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144736 Students in my classroom will use hip hop music as a way to practice their use of language.

In this strategy you will have students write down 3 things they learned, share 2 interesting facts they learned, and write down 1 question they still have from the text. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144919 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144928 My defense article was about writer's workshop. I would like to incorporate this into my future classroom because it caters to the students needs and interests within the classroom. I also liked how the article discussed how with conferencing you individualizing them to what the specific student needs to be working on. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144928 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354144997 I argued that we should spice up learning vocab by turning it into a quest-like game. The article connected the levels and tasks to Bloom's Taxonomy chart, showing how as they move through the tasks, they will work their way up to higher-order thinking.

I believe free-writing is very important for students because it encourages them to express themselves. It also helps them use their own experiences to share their perspectives and ideas. ]]> 2019-04-25 15:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354145098 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354145161 My defense article was about a reading workshop in the classroom. With this incorporated in my future classroom, students will have extensive time to read what they are interested in and gain a greater appreciation for reading. As shown in the picture, they can also share and discuss what they are reading and are interested in.]]> 2019-04-25 15:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354145161 https://padlet.com/sara_kepros1/z55lpe1t3gqu/wish/354145555 My article was about ways we can incorporate collaborative inquiry in the classroom to increase student engagement. This gives students the opportunity to form opinions and have friendly debate.
