The Why Why Why Game: Practice with Argument
A quick, engaging, higher order thinking, and fun activity elicits students' critical thinking skills to practice making claims, using data and establishing warrants to support arguments. It is a role-play, a pair and share, then a critical thinking discussion using quotations from Transcendental philosophers, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The quotes can easily turn into persuasive writing prompts.

This download will walk you through how our school adopted a common language of using writing models, scaffolding grids, and the TEL-Con writing structure. It immediately put teac

Writer's Workshop for Newbies (and Great Ideas for the Experienced!)
I created this presentation for a 30-person PD to introduce K-12 teachers at my school to the workshop model, as I was the only one at the school who had done it previously (for 5 years).

Personal Narrative: Blueprinting Places and Memories
This assignment allows students to draw, label, and reflect on a special place. I used this with HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, but it could be used for many literary works. This assignment can result in a personal narrative, an expository piece, or a persuasive piece (especially helpful for the STAAR EOC). My students wrote some amazing essays based on their blueprinting. I have seen this used in adult writing workshops; it is a powerful tool. Enjoy!
