Favorite project of the year. Letters to Operation Gratitude Followed Up with a Hat Day to Support Wounded Warrior Project. Our way to give thanks! @wwp@OpGratitude@avidwcpsmd@SpMSWCPS@wcpsmd
Students using a rubric to anonymously provide feedback to another's work. Great way for kids to use a rubric and revise. Students now have a better focus for peer revision and can create better papers @peergrade@wcpsmd@SpMSWCPS@avidwcpsmd
Supplemental SSR books came in today! All titles relate in some way to the books that I use in lessons. Kids can pick novels off of what they like in class. Thank you for supporting kids literacy! @ruppejen@wcpsmd@avidwcpsmd@SpMSWCPS
Kids speed date a book. Great way to look for a great book and see new titles in a short amount of time. Kids are already requesting multiple titles. I'll do what it takes to improve literacy @SpMSWCPS@avidwcpsmd@wcpsmd
Kids did a great job showcasing their 3 favorite Middle School Books Divergent, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Going to be showcased at Literacy Night tonight. @avidwcpsmd@wcpsmd@SpMSWCPS
Thanks @Flipgrid for helping my students meet speak/listen standards. Writing an argument paper trying to prove Narrator in Tell Tale Heart had all five symptoms of schizophrenia. Then they have to read their speech @avidwcpsmd@SpMSWCPS@wcpsmd
Students playing Nab It. Competition with vocab skills. More points if they include latin roots or Poe Vocab. They love the stealing points portion! Games help engagement and learning. These kids are making words their own @avidwcpsmd@wcpsmd@SpMSWCPS
Students watching a short video how the animator of Tell Tale Heart shows suspense compared to Poe. Soon working together to build their essay. Comparing texts and multimedia is a big skill!

Thanks to the Enoch Pratt library for bringing the Poe collection down. Students can see real life and learn how life affects writing @SpMSWCPS@avidwcpsmd@wcpsmd
