Today at Speech...
I like to have something to send home with the kiddos so they can share what they did in speech with their parents. I use this template mainly with kiddos who are working on spontaneous expressive language, narratives, and sequencing. It also allows parents to get an idea of what went on in our session and provides the child with a prompt. Either I, or the child, draws a simple picture or writes a few words in each bubble (just enough to jog their memory so they aren't just reading a script).

Essay for Make-up Grades
Students coming to you the last possible day to ask "what can I do to improve my grade?" Assign them this! The Personal Essay about Responsibility asks them to a) reflect on their mistakes that led to this situation, b) demonstrate a plan to improve the situation, and c) demonstrate understanding of essay structure and vocabulary. I have used this to good effect in my classes, and the required self-reflection makes it pretty easy to see if a student tries to cheat or use AI to help write it. Bas
