Our media specialist shared an idea with me that I am going to do next year. Students will decorate a pumpkin to match a books character and then write a book report. I believe this will increase their interest in reading. #SWCultureofLiteracy
I plan on using this interactive lesson found on the GPB site to teach story elements and the writing process. You can assign it to Google Classroom and share to Remind right from the page. Students may save their work and submit it for a grade.

Conversation Cards engage students in conversations and the practice of speaking and listening to their peers. https://t.co/d7pDwuykbO #SWGAContentLearning
@AngelaDaniel208 I like how the conversation cards are also connected to many of the 5th grade ELA Standards! They can be used in quite a few ELA lessons.
I like all of the these strategies, but I really like the one about teaching whole body listening. We are a world of multitaskers, and it seems to keep us from truly paying attention to the task at hand.

@MichelleSRead2@LisaGilligan4 I like the idea of collaborating with students to set speaking and listening goals. We have six speaking and listening standards in the 5th grade ELA standards that are not addressed as much as the others. Great strategy!
Brainstorming & Reviewing Using the Carousel Strategy is a great activity found that will get students talking and writing when reviewing information from any content area!

I liked the activity Caption a Photo in this article about visual literacy. I could use this to caption one of our American Symbols after we have read about them. @LisaGilligan4#SWVisualLiteracy https://t.co/mcTr084Nm7
@moncriefka@LisaGilligan4 This is a great reminder. Questioning gives you immediate feedback of student comprehension. It’s easy to do and often overlooked. Thanks for sharing it.
Using Multi-Modal Comparisons is one of the many effective strategies that help teach visual literacy! After a novel study, have your students watch the movie version and have them compare the two. https://t.co/kesvlr0qJI #SWVisualLiteracy
@margaretcromie_ I totally agree! This year, we watched Where the Red Fern Grows and compared the book to the movie. I found that the students were more engaged with this movie than others we watched having read the book. Comparing & Contrasting was fun! They loved it!
How to Get Students Thinking About Their Own Learning https://t.co/6F7sToTZuH
This article provides visual graphic organizers to help students track their own progress after assessments which results in a 32% point gain. #SWVisualLiteracy
@amybbowden@JSerravallo I have found that students often struggle with summarizing. This looks like a great strategy that will help students organize their thoughts.
