Super excited to come back to teach! Scholars learned all about what it means to be a Critical Friend. Ask them about the lesson, and how they applied their understanding when analyzing their Graffiti Name Tags. Speaking of Graffiti, ask your scholar about the origin of Graffiti. I promise I told them it is illegal today, so don't go out in public to tag any buildings. :)
Nonfiction Text Features!
In History, you will find me teaching lessons that will help scholars in their future learning experiences. Scholars learned about Nonfiction Text Features that Signal Importance. Ask them to show you the handout I gave them on these features (should be in the History section of their binder!).
After talking about how to access the textbook in this way, scholars learned about how visuals can give you a TON of learning. Viewing and analyzing the visuals in a nonfiction text can help us in comprehending what we are reading! Ask them to show you what they learned from just viewing the visuals from chapter 1 in their History textbooks.
