Last Friday, I blogged about my Five Friday Favorites from Pinterest. I decided that I would follow the same routine this week and keep it "classroom inspired" again. It's pushing me to find great ideas to use in September. I hope our teacher followers find it useful, too!
My pins this week are focused on "Evidence Based Thinking" for essay writing. Unfortunately, we let go of teaching our narrative units last year and emphasized expository writing only. These charts will come in handy throughout the year.
1. Good Readers Show Evidence chart. Follow this link for a free download!
2. Pushing Our Thinking chart. My students use these scaffolds to support their evidence and thinking.
3. Language of Essays chart. I feel like I breeze through these terms in September, but notice it's necessary to have them displayed in the room somewhere.
4. I love these teaching points for my September read aloud!
5. How Events Impact Characters & Teach Them Lessons chart. I want to model this thinking through short texts or read aloud's. So important!
