How it works:

Main Idea Monday

On Mondays, students will read a paragraph. They are mostly informational but may include fictional excerpts as well. Students are asked what the main idea of the paragraph is, and they are then asked to provide text evidence to support the main idea of the paragraph.

Tweak It Tuesday

On Tuesdays, students are given an excerpt or paragraph. They have grammatical errors that students must correct. After they have made their corrections, there is a slide that contains the answers. I show my students the answers after they have had plenty of time to answer. In the Scaffolded Teacher Slides, students are only asked to add end punctuation!

Write it out Wednesday

Each Wednesday, students are given a writing prompt. It may be narrative, informational, or argumentative. Students must respond to the prompt and write as much as they can in this amount of time. I typically have the students to aim for a complete paragraph. There are sentence frames in the Scaffolded Teacher Slides!

Think About It Thursday

On Thursdays, students are given a prompt to stimulate thinking. This may be a decision that they would have to make, a preference, or anything along those lines. Students must respond to the prompt by writing down their thoughts. There are sentence frames in the Scaffolded Teacher Slides!

Feel Good Friday

Every Friday, students will respond to a "feel good" prompt. This may involve thing that have happened this week, something that the student it good at, or even acts of kindness. There are sentence frames in the Scaffolded Teacher Slides!
