Really beautiful conversations in #ENG1D1 today as we did our hexagonal thinking. Every student was able to dicuss their book in terms of big topics, and some were able to craft nuanced statements (“Grief strengthens the yearning for revenge” 🤯). Feedback tomorrow. @GLRobertsCVI
Next week we’ll focus on explaining our connections more thoroughly and start to add some more topics to the mix, including ones that students see emerging in their texts, to do some hexagonal thinking. 🧵 9/ https://t.co/mCbpBGOLgQ
#ENG1D1 has been engaging in book club activities - all inspired by a few people here on this bird app who I want to acknowledge for their inspiration!🧵1/
To wrap up our narrative writing, students shared their best sentence using whiteboard markers on their desks, did some peer editing using the skills we learned, and then wrote their final edited sentence to share. Such amazing writing craft! #ENG1D1 @GLRobertsCVI
Collaborative sentence work today in #ENG1D1. Great conversation and helping each other. Students had 5 sentence “building blocks” to create as many different sentences as they could. Activity: https://t.co/up2MCsrp4w
Starting off with a new digital literacy mini unit in #ENG1D1 @GLRobertsCVI . Introducing a new sentence structure, ALT text, inferencing, mentor texts and more! (Open to feedback or suggestions!). Unit template based on #CultivatingGenius @GholdyM

In #ENG1D1 @GLRobertsCVI we are thinking intentionally about our reading plan for the semester. Students will use this reading ladder and graphic to reflect on and track how they are growing and defining challenge through their self selected reading.

Finally had an uninterrupted hour to actually meet with my small but mighty Grade 9 team today to talk about changes for Semester 2 in #ENG1D1. Grateful for colleagues who embrace new ideas and are so easy to work with.
Some good thinking and collaboration this week in #ENG1D1 as students moved through a progression of skills exploring an argument and crafting a claim statement. (P4 three days after a break trying to study essay structure was a different story 🤣). #TheGoodAndTheUgly
Want to start a fiery argument in class? Lots of strong evidence generated in small groups as they defended their claims in #ENG1D1. There were some strong feelings about this 🤣.
@Lyricalswordz - thanks for the prompts. Can’t wait to dig into more.
As part of narrative writing, #ENG1D1 will work on applying some sentence structures that will help us write descriptively. Here’s the progression that students will try that include a variety of opportunities and entry points for learning.

A little phonemic and phonological awareness as part of pre-reading this week in #ENG1D1. Students are starting to be able to manipulate words with independence. @GLRobertsCVI
Mentor texts have so many benefits to student writing. We focussed on openings in #ENG1D1, and while I could look at errors in their writing, I’ve read a lot of really sophisticated, creative and unique openings to their how-to guides. #StrengthBasedAssessment
Kicked off our narrative unit by talking about point of view. It was a beautiful day, so we went outside to gather ideas using this mentor text. Students will give advice from the POV of something nonhuman, focussing on word choice and imperative sentences. #ENG1D1 @GLRobertsCVI
We’ve started our first long-term (one week) writing assignment in #ENG1D1. One woe I always have with my seniors writers is that they delay and delay their drafting. So I’m using @RebekahODell1’s idea of doing flash drafting with my 9s after studying mentor texts. 1/2
In #ENG1D1 we are working toward a strong foundation for decoding words to continue to build vocabulary efficiently. Today we did closed syllable division (VC/CV) as part of our ongoing #StructuredLiteracy lessons. @GLRobertsCVI

One thing I’ve learned from @MovingWriters is to start a writing unit by studying a variety of mentor texts first. I don’t want to see 20 products all structured/written the same way. In #ENG1D1 we are doing a short info writing unit with how-to guides. https://t.co/tP5frwMkhc
Some reflections on my first month teaching destreamed #ENG1D1 @GLRobertsCVI. After some intro activities, we’ve been doing work with information text structures in and will be doing some how-to writing. Here’s our sequence of learning so far. 1/
I have started this document to think more intentionally about sentence-level writing skills in #ENG1D1. It’s not quite finished, but I welcome suggestions for mentor texts to add! https://t.co/dzD075gvrF @senior_mrs @mslajeunesse @mslongpre @GJaneteas
#ENG1D1 was messy chaos today when I asked groups of students to take this and present the info in a different form. Lots of bizarre & imperfect board drawings and explanations. But, also lots of discussion about the terms. We shall see if it sticks. 1/2
We’re talking about mentor texts in #ENG1D1 and I borrowed from @StacieOliver100 & @DanikaTipping’s @elan presentation. We listened to Rudy Francisco’s “My Honest Poem” and students borrowed from his structure to create their own writing. https://t.co/4vKg3PSgfD @GLRobertsCVI
