Wednesday morning thoughts. I’m hoping we can do our best to provide students with this essential foundation.

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

These girls went above and beyond for their ELA final project! I have loved seeing the results of having students design their own assessments, and I am so proud of them! #JSAMSComeAlive

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today in ELA we learned about the #Enneagram personality test. Students really enjoyed learning more about themselves. Next week we will continue reading That Was Then, This Is Now and analyze each character’s personality type using the Enneagram. #7thGradeELA #JSAMSComeAlive

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today in ELA students are mind mapping the vocabulary for our new unit. I’m loving the creativity some students are using! #7thGradeELA #JSAMSComeAlive

Today in ELA we took a small break from writing TDA essays, and we studied an advertisement to practice our analysis skills. Happy Friday, everyone! #TDA #7thGradeELA #JSAMSComeAlive

Fellow ELA teachers, my students are in the process of writing a TDA, and I found this to be an interesting concept. What are your thoughts? #edchat

[Meg Burke @megburkeall4ed]

Yes! So many times we think using good writing to teach good writing is cheating. I say show me one author who sat in isolation and wrote a five paragraph essay that people cared about and appreciated. #notcopying #notcheating #letthemwrite

Reading this piece - "We should be extremely careful on how we approach technological growth within schools, and ensure that students are getting the most out of both traditional and modern forms of teaching." https://t.co/v2svv69j5r

@JSAMSROCKS Ss could create an alphabet book using math vocab. Each page would be a different letter, and Ss would need to fill the pages with math vocabulary terms that begin with the letter of each page. Then they could write the definition & draw a visual representation of the word.

Starting off the week in 7th grade ELA by reflecting and making a plan for the weeks ahead. #JSAMSComeAlive #7thGradeELA

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

After we discussed the literary terms for unit 2, students used mentimeter to indicate which terms they find to be the most challenging. Their responses will be used to help guide my planning and instruction. #JSAMSComeAlive #7thGradeELA #mentimeter

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today Ss worked together to practice analysis using the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” Ss read the poem in chapter 5 of The Outsiders. Great job, 7 Orange! #JSAMSComeAlive #7thGradeELA #TheOutsiders

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

After analyzing the literature in unit 1, students created a product in which they compared a public figure of their choice to the characters and themes we discovered in the unit. Today they shared their work and completed a reflection. Great job, 7 Orange! #JSAMSComeAlive #ELA

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Students used their data binders to record two categories of their CDT reports. The information they recorded will be used to set up targeted and personalized interventions for PLT. #JSAMSComeAlive #7thGradeELA

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

She did it!! This awesome young lady fulfilled her promise to read 20 books in 30 days! #JSAMSComeAlive #becauseisaidiwould

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Students did a great job using the fable “The Burro and the Fox” to review theme, symbolism, and characterization for tomorrow’s quiz! #7thGradeELA #JSAMSComeAlive

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today in ELA we had fun acting out our first read of the myth “Phaethon.” 😊 #JSAMSComeAlive #7thGradeELA

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today students used textual evidence to create an Instagram post that represents a character from the stories we read this week. Happy Friday! #JSAMSComeAlive #closereading #7thGradeELA

[ELA with Mrs.K @SKuehneJSMS]

Today students read a short story and used sign posts to practice identifying characterization. They later recorded one of their findings on a post-it note and categorized it on the board. Awesome job, 7O! #JSAMSComeAlive #closereading
