Last night I asked my husband what his “go-to font” was and he looked at me like I was speaking a different language!! What’s your font of choice? I’m a Century Gothic gal 💁🏻♀️
As we are winding down our unit novel of To Kill A Mockingbird, 9th grade Ss @sciencehill_jcs were able to show the connections they made on our visible thinking Hex Map! Ss defended their connections to the class and through written analysis📝💻
Character analysis may be one of my favorite things! Today 9th grade started to see these characters as dynamic people that change over time & we analyzed how the author crafted the narrative to develop these characters. @ScienceHill_JCS 9th graders are 🔥fire🔥 this year!
When we get ready to revise our writing, I remind Ss that they don’t submit a first draft of themselves when they come to school. They go through a revision process each morning. They love when I show them my first draft- illustrates my point! @SterlingMiddle1#writingprocess
Kicked off a new persuasive writing unit with an interactive word wall sort! Ss examined and justified the relationships between vocab words for our Food Systems unit! We will be exploring the EQ: Who is responsible for sustaining our food systems? @jcityTNschools@MustLoveELA
8th graders @jcityTNschools writing about how they can make their voices heard, even as teens! We researched ways to get involved in our community to impact change, even though Ss can’t yet vote. @sectrehargett #whyyourvotematters
Finally finished my big project: the “What Should I Read Next” wall. Students can grab the cover off the wall and find the summary of the book on the back! I’ve got most of them in my classroom library, but they’ve been so into it, they’re almost all checked out🤭 #readingmatters
Starting the year annotating and goal setting for writing with our 8th graders @jcityTNschools in writing boot camp!! We set up writing conferences and are ready to show our growth this year! @MustLoveELA
Our wonderful 8th graders enjoying their #gallerywalk to conclude our Dystopian Book Clubs unit! We are so proud of their hard work and creativity! Such a fun & collaborative way to end the unit📚 @SterlingMiddle1
