Such a fun day ELA! Grade 7 writers made posters utilizing irony and foreshadowing to make a totally terrifying element of our dystopian and Sci Fi texts seem completely awesome.

Grade 7 readers learn to create their own criteria: what is a bird? Then applying their criteria to Porg. Is a Porg a bird? Then moving on: What makes a book sci fi? What criteria can we use to evaluate? #collaboration @LearnWithMFern_ @WatsonBryan7

Grade 7 readers work together to learn to take a “slow look” approach to texts, images, and life. What details might you miss at first glance? How do they deepen your understanding of the story?

Grade 7 writers learned a little about active listening from Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler then practiced leaning in to their peers presentations.

Grade 7 writers show what they learned in their nonfiction research by choosing their own creative projects! Children’s books, video games, graphic novels, and Netflix style docuseries. Thoughtful hard work all around! @LearnWithMFern_

I love this story. “It was naughty-ish."

An 8-year-old slid his handwritten book onto a library shelf. It now has a years-long waitlist. https://t.co/2dERlqobrc

It is also fun to ask grade 7 writers what makes them awesome. Because there is so so much that an essay, test, task can’t tell us. ❤️
