5 Ways to Incorporate Literacy in the Classroom
A CHS Blog Series
This Week.... Writing
When was the last time your students had sore hands from writing in
your class? Just like conversation, writing helps us make sense of what
we are learning and helps us make connections to our own lives or
others' ideas.
You can't avoid thinking when you write.
Students need to be writing every day, in every classroom. How about
adding to your instruction more informal and fun writing activities like:
- quick writes - The strategy asks scholars to respond in 2–10 minutes to an open-ended question or prompt posed by the teacher before, during, or after reading.
- stop and jots -
- one-minute essays - Click for more info
graffiti conversations - Click for more info
Not all writing assignments need be formal ones. Students need frequent opportunities to write informally and formally.
- It is important that we are ALL speaking the same language to our scholars. Please DO NOT allow any student to sit in your classroom out of uniform, listening to music, texting, or with ear phones or ear buds in their ears.
- No hall passes should be issued the first 15 or last 15 minutes of each class period! During the class period, passes should be issues for EMERGENCIES only!
- Please make sure you are lesson planning each day, and using the school-wide lesson plan template. Lesson plans should be in a binder, and in an area that is accessible for visitors.
- All SLO's were due in Teachscape by October 19, 2015. Department Chairs will be requesting information from you if you have not uploaded your SLO's.
