Every time I assign something and a student asks

"Is this for a grade?"

At first I get kind of annoyed. And then I remember that WE did this to them. It's not their fault--they've adapted to our broken system of carrots & sticks

A big shout out to 32 @dsbn Secondary teachers who have completed @YorkUedPL Reading Part 1 & 2. They did this in a pandemic while teaching in virtual learning environments. Professional learning never 🛑. So excited to see many of you in Part 2 and 3 on February 22nd.

To continue to build our understanding, we made text-to-text connections to better understand the BIG ideas of the texts. We will apply this process of monitoring comprehension and building understanding as we move into text clubs after the break!

Adapted a book sampling activity from the amazing @ReshmaSomani for our book clubs. Students will read summaries, listen to audio samples, and read a few pages before making their choice.📚
