7th grade ELA Ss collaborated with peers to read and evaluate the way an author develops an argument using logical and informal reasoning. They then presented their own arguments about the effectiveness of the main argument! @DMSTIGERTWEETS
Friday Faculty Focus meets Avid Critical Reading process! Love sharing my passion for literacy across the content areas and so grateful for @Tessa_Schirm for sharing the passion with me! @DMSTIGERTWEETS
The passion @Jenn_Viverito has for literacy is contagious. Thank you for leading our professional development today on Content Area Reading strategies for previewing text and vocabulary. @DMSTIGERTWEETS
First Socratic Seminar in 7th Adv ELA today! Love the perspectives and themes that were shared today and best part about it- they were totally student led! @ShamekaMurphy1@KinardsConnect1@DMSTIGERTWEETS
2nd day shenanigans- Used a new method to group students to get to know each other better and to set norms for partner talk. When you see my students, ask them about the barnyard game! @DMSTIGERTWEETS@ShamekaMurphy1
When class discussion is this vibrant, everybody wins!
