Course Planning — Building Hamburger Summaries. Following the previous lesson on writing summaries, the students would now focus on the importance of the details of a summary.
Each student received a slip with a sentence/detail from a larger passage. Detail slips.pdf The students would then have to find other classmates that match their slips that have a similar main idea, and then match their metaphorical toppings to a hamburger located somewhere around the room. The corresponding hamburger located on the wall somewhere in the room has an introduction and blank slip on the bottom for the students to work on writing conclusions. The hamburger also has paperclips on each topping for the students to clip their slips onto the hamburger in the logical order they should be in.
Below are the completed hamburgers and the summaries written by the students. Opinion Writing Graphic Organizer FREEBIE. Today my kiddos started learning about the five parts of opinion writing.
I taught them that an opinion piece has to have: 1) an introduction where you state your opinion, 2) reason #1 to support your opinion, 3) reason #2 to support your opinion, 4) reason #3 to support your opinion, and 5) a conclusion that restates your opinion. I am a visual person so I think about this like a sandwich/hamburger. Here is a picture of the hamburger display that I showed them to understand the five parts: This is just a placemat from Walmart that I cut apart into five different sections. I hot glued magnets on the back and wrote each part of an opinion writing on the pieces. If you'd like to pick up a FREE copy of this organizer, just click on the picture to download it! Tomorrow we are going to focus on the conclusion and how to wrap it up. Hamburger Writing. Five Elements of a Story. The iDiom Corner Community.

The Wordle of this list!

In order to put together a list of the best Web 2.0 classroom tools, I polled my Twitter followers, Facebook fans (are they still called fans? Likes?) And ran a contest to try and get as many submissions as possible. There were more than 900 submissions but many were duplicates. Skillswise - Homepage.
