Sometimes you have to go back to basics when you're asking students to review literary elements. Loved having my kiddos read some children's books and identify setting, conflict, characters, climax, theme, tone, resolution, & author's purpose! #aisdpride#literacy@AustinCrockett
Used the Blue Square Challenge to reinforce the tutorial process.
If you miss crucial steps or rush through w/o thinking, you'll end up being stuck. But once you learn the process, you'll be set up for success every time! 💡 @AustinISDAVID@AustinCrockett@AVID4College

@AustinISDAVID My list was cleared today! Almost $400 worth of supplies that I normally would have had to buy myself. My ELA and AVID kids will be so appreciative! 🍎

Another "Austin Revolutionaries" project is in the books for our young entrepreneurs! These 9th graders just wrote the first draft of history for these 8 amazing people. @AustinCrockett@AustinISD#PBL
Exhibit opens at the Manchaca Library on Saturday, June 8th @ 12p.
Today I witnessed upperclassmen STAAR re-testers SPRINTING to their next review task. Test prep & engagement are only mutually exclusive if you make it that way. Pulled off a school-wide scavenger hunt and could not be more proud of my kids! 🌟 #AlwaysVictorious@AustinCrockett
A5 I loved the idea of a “Fail Fest” to celebrate taking risks. I posted my college transcript in my “College Corner” to show students that, yes, even Ms. Ogg failed some classes -- and yet here I am! Life is an iterative process! #LPTechEdventures
A4 Metacognitive screencasting was a strategy I’d never really heard before. In English, so much of their assessment comes from justifying their answers. Having them narrate their thinking on a video seems to lend itself really well to that. #LPTechEdventures
A3 The SAMR Model helped me orient myself on what’s just passively substituting a piece of paper for a Chromebook and what’s actually asking our students to meaningfully engage in new tasks that were “previously inconceivable” More voice/choice = more active use #LPTechEdventures
