Thursday (8/19) is Back to School Night at East Cobb. Hope to see you there. The hours are 6:00 until 8:00.
This week in all of my classes, we will continue to work on our Interactive Notebooks - discussing how they will be graded, going over rubrics, and self-assessment forms that we will be using.
A student that expects to earn an "A" on the notebook will take time to consistently include assigned and unassigned left side activities that show application of concepts and skills taught in class for each right side work given in class. Once you understand some of the good left side activities that can be done, it should take about 15 minutes to complete a left side activity. Class time will be used to work on right side assignments and many times students will be able to work on the left side activity also. The expectation is that students will visit that day's right side activity by completing a left side activity of their own choosing (unassigned by teacher).
Some examples of left-side work:
Brainstorming ___Venn Diagram ___ Questions___Character Descriptions __
Chart/Graph ___ Timeline ____ Cause/Effect Charts ___
Drawn/ClipArt ___ Metaphors ___ Flow Charts ____ Connect to Today ___
Personal Responses ____ Processed Article ___ Illustrated Proverbs ___ Poem ___
Comic Strips ___ Political Cartoon ___ Illustrated Definitions __ Essay ___
Point of View ___ Pictoword ____Mnemonic Device___Concept Web____
I am a 6th and 7th Grade AC ELA Teacher.
