Fishbowl Discussion Teacher Organization Tool
You may know, I've been moved to a 3rd grade gifted and talented classroom. I wasn't so sure about it at first, but I have to say I am loving it!
I love the discussions we have and using a fishbowl really gets the kids talking about the text or other issues. It is so beneficial because I am there listening and taking notes to check for understanding and deeper thinking. It has also helped the kids run their own book clubs because they are used to having discussions.
I was just drawing a circle

Quick Writes for "A Modest Proposal"
Product includes three quick writes all pertaining to Swift’s “A Modest Proposal.” I have only used this product with AP Language and Composition students, but it can easily be modified for students who have read Swift’s work. As there are three quick writes, there is one for before reading, during the reading, and after reading. Two of the pieces are rhetorical in nature, and the last one is for the students to write their own proposal (creative). My students loved it, and I hope that yours do
