Writing Tools for Reluctant Writers Mini-Bundle
By Betsy Newmeyer
Got reluctant writers? This resource bundle will get your students excited for narrative writing and spark all sorts of creative ideas. To begin, practice the concept of Show, Don't Tell with a quick activity that gets kids communicating, collaborating, and thinking critically about using strong details in creative writing stories. It feels like a game, but it isn't!
Then, students work together to build a story from scratch, first selecting a character and a conflict, before selecting cards for sensory details (see, hear, smell, taste, touch), dialogue, and emotions. The word cards act as a word bank, giving kids a starting place to work from. Kids can use the SWBST summarization tools to help plan out their storyline. With the support of peers, students physically plan and orally rehearse their story multiple times before committing the storyline to paper. Kids can switch stories and use their SWBST tools to summarize another team's story, allowing the young authors and readers to compare and contrast how the story may have changed from the planning to the actual writing or publication stage. These three resources are all you need for hours of creative writing fun.
In my own classroom, I used the Show, Don't Tell writing activity to teach the concept of elaboration. Several days later, we used the character, conflict, and sensory detail cards to develop a story of our own. I even used these resources during an observation this year. We took about an hour to plan out our stories and then another hour for the actual writing. The kids had a lot of fun and everyone was engaged.

Close Readings and DBQs for US History
By History Guru
These units are focused on close reading in history/social studies, primarily in the discipline of history, and using text-dependent questions to help students gain a deeper understanding of informational texts. Unit 3 will offer suggestions for how to implement FL CCSS in the other related disciplines of civics, economics, and geography. Why Close Reading Now? I wear a variety of professional hats—Department Head, Social Studies Coach, Youth In Government Advisor, Interactive Notebook Team member for the District, Chromebook Leader, tech Leader, School Based Leadership Team, AVID Tutor, and most of all Teacher. To keep myself honest (and humble), I spend a lot of time in classrooms watching kids and teachers at work. During the past few years, I've observed a transformation in the teaching of reading from an approach that measured readers' successful understanding of text through lengthy packets of comprehension questions to one that requires students to think about their thinking, activating their "good reader" strategies. The National Assessment of Educational Progress even made one of those strategies—making reader/text connections—a thinking strand within its framework (National Assessment Governing Board, 2002). For a long while, this approach looked ideal. What could be better than creating metacognitive readers? 14 Close reading files for your entire school year! Close Reading Topics Included: English Bill of Rights Mayflower Compact Montesquieu Thomas Paine- Common Sense Join or Die Declaration of Independence- Excerpt Declaration of Independence- Natural Rights Articles of Confederation Federalists Papers #51- Need Government Federalists Papers #51- Separation of Powers Alien & Sedition Act Cane Fight- Preston Brooks and Charles Sumner Analyzing Uncle Toms Cabin Emancipation Proclamation Eli Whitney Whiskey Rebellion Temperance Movement Woodrow Wilson WWI JFK Address Judicial Branch Legislative Branch Foreign Relations Paying for Government Power of Government
