Thank you @TSMWRIGHTK for your guest appearance as the Land Lady into our 7th grade classes to help student with inference and evidence to support it. @TMS_Trojans#RelentlessTMS
Here I will share my lesson plans for my students who will not be coming to school for the next two weeks. These plans were developed with my friend @pennykittle , as well as from input from some of my ELA colleagues at Magnolia High School. But before I share, some thoughts:
The Landlady may seem generous and kind, but our text evidence & inferences prove otherwise. Thank you @TSMWRIGHTK for playing the part! #kidsfirst#Dahlwouldbeproud
@ingmiremary I like the idea of the sentence starters. Sometimes the habit of prodding the student too much creeps in. Sentence starters would put the onus of work on the student.
@ingmiremary Giving students time to be immersed in a book is crucial. I also like the her idea of building community around a common text so Ss can discuss. #R3BookChat
