Have
you jumped on the foldable bandwagon yet?
I tied myself to its backboard last year……..and got drug to the halfway point. In other words, I learned a lot of what I
needed to change for THIS YEAR~
Now,
to this year. I’m again learning what I
need to change for next year, but it has been SOOOOOOOO much more successful
this year. One of the reasons is because
I’m actually watching my students USING and REUSING and REUSING it. They know they can……
CHEAT
on
any work I give them (other than district tests) by using their NOTEBOOK.
So,
here’s the most important part. When we
are reading a brand spankin’ new informational text and learning all new stuff
about this text, I always throw in a question from their notebook from THE
FIRST WEEK OR TWO OF SCHOOL. I’m not
going to review it. I’m not going to
reteach it - I did that already, geez!!!!
Nope. I’m telling them to turn to
that Table of Contents, find it, relearn it, reread it, grasp it again, and
give it back to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So
in honor of my thankfulness during Thanksgiving weekend, I’m offering my
current foldable for literary terms as a freebie. It
includes flashback, foreshadowing, irony, symbolism, mood, and tone. Click here to get your free download.
