@TahylinD I love this idea to use RAFT writing as test prep! Not only does it prepare students for the test, but it also shows the teacher where the students are in regards to writing and where they may need support before the test.

I loved learning about RAFT writing! These writing prompt cards are a great way to incorporate RAFT writing with younger students. #booksnap4 #KSUECE4410

@waver_erin I love that you were able to connect this to your lesson! In this scenario the students broke down the morphemes in the word to find the meaning and then used context clues to make sure it made sense. It's great that there are multiple ways to teach students to find meaning.

It is important for young students to learn morphemes including root words, affixes, prefixes, etc. This knowledge is crucial in understanding the meaning of words. #booksnap3 #KSUECE4410

@Rebecca94850910 I love Socrative! I learned about it in ITEC last semester. And I agree, the privacy of just the teacher seeing the students' responses is great so that the students do not feel self conscious in sharing.

Checking for students' understanding is a crucial part of teaching. This "confusion barometer" tool is a great way to know where students are at. #booksnap2 #KSUECE4410

@Jenny_Rusch_94 Yes! Hook texts are super important to make the content approachable and engaging.
