Author's Bias

A few years ago, I attended a Middle School conference in Myrtle Beach on teaching and learning. I got an AWESOME idea that I revamped and brought back to my 5th graders. I am planning on teaching this to them in small group this week:

My children started speaking about THE COLD WAR last week...and we will continue tomorrow with McCarthyism. Here is what We have done so  far:

 

My Plans for the RED SCARE

 



ELA Common Core: workstation

I have been busy all night (yes, my Saturday night) on the computer creating this ELA workstation for my students.  What did I use? Why, the Crosswalk Coach for the CCSS of course!  I am hoping this will clear up a few questions and problems my students come across on their MAP test and Compass Odyssey lessons. Also, in our ImagineIt units, we are supposed to be constantly exposing the researching-thing all year!

I plan to create matching games with the definitions and examples as well as have students work in their Literary groups to practice PASS-like questions. It's nothing SUPER-FANCY, but it's crunch time for me---PASS Writing is in MARCH!!!!!
