Sentence & Talking Stems

Created by

JAZMYN Allen

Accountable Talk is focused, collaborative talk meant to deepen and extend students’ thinking about a topic. Students respond to and further develop what other students have said. The more they talk, the more the learn! This is a key component in Danielson evaluations. Sentence stems give your students a guide on how to answer text dependent questions. As students answer questions on the text, stems require your student to cite evidence within the text. This is a key skill for PARCC testing. T

STAAR Surgeons

Created by

Nizher

This is a great way to start working on STAAR passages with your students after the holidays. It is a very bright idea a coworker shared with me about four years ago to start implementing STAAR simulations in the classroom. I modified it a bit and gave it a name as well designed the thinking tracks that go along with it. It is a extremely engaging way to apply all knowledge previously taught in the classroom. Students will definitely enjoy the process. I hope it helps someone out there!

Miranda Teaches

I used this original story as a drama lesson to help the students role play as their characters. I was the investigator and I asked the students questions, which they had to answer as their character. I assigned two students each to be one character. The rest of the class was the jury (they would later decide who was guilty). They had to support their answer with evidence from the text and inferences, and if they accused another character, they had to provide proof. The jury was given a specific

City Coucil Meeting
