Fall in Love with This Teacher’s Text-Marking Activity | Scope Ideabook Editor’s Note: Kim O’Bray’s colorful text marking activity is a key part of her close-reading process. Students engage deeply with the text by using colored pencils to mark everything from figurative language and unfamiliar vocabulary to central ideas and text structures. I really like this text-marking approach because it gets everyone on the same page and encourages students to ask questions and make their own connections. It works wonderfully with any nonfiction text. At the beginning of the year, I model each step for my students, especially for my 6th graders who are new to text-marking. By the time my students are in 8th grade, the process has become second nature. What you’ll need: Any Scope nonfiction article. Key skills:finding text evidence, central ideas, text structure, figurative language, vocabulary, synthesizing, summarizing Time:Three, 45-minute class periods Day 1: Preview and summarize Set a purpose for reading. Day 2: Text mark and discuss Day 3: Summative assessment
hs Aloitetaan saamelaisten kansallispuvusta. ”Se ei ole mikä tahansa rätti. Se on osa identiteettiä. Puku kertoo, mistä ihminen on kotoisin, mihin sukuun hän kuuluu, iloitseeko vai sureeko, onko matkalla häihin vai hautajaisiin. Näin sanoo pohjoissaamelainen Jenni Laiti. He vaikuttavat loukkaantuvan usein, ja monesti tunne liittyy juuri saamenpukuun. Siihen, että joku ei-saamelainen pitää saamenpukua tai väärennettyä sellaista. Jenni Laiti vääntää rautalangasta, miksi saamenpukua täytyisi kunnioittaa: ”Saamenpuku on meidän tärkein monumenttimme. Saamelaiset ovat Euroopan ainoa alkuperäis- ja luonnonkansa, joista osa vielä pari sukupolvea sitten asui tunturiin tai metsään koottavissa laavuissa eli kodissa. Picasa Saamelaistaiteilijat antavat palautetta alppihiihtäjä Tanja Poutiaisen pila-asulle. He eivät ole jättäneet ympäristöön muistomerkkejä, kuten patsaita, joilla länsimaiset kulttuurit paaluttavat kulttuurisen perimänsä. Postikortti 1970-luvun alusta. Otto Ponto Sie haiset. Mikä avuksi?
NASA Reveals A List Of The Best Air-Cleaning Plants For Your Home A healthy home environment is vital to a person’s well-being and houseplants contribute to it more than you might think. Their main benefit is air-filtering, so it sounds only reasonable that NASA did a Clean Air Study, that found which plants are effective at removing benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and ammonia from the air – chemicals that have been linked to negative health effects like headaches, dizziness, eye irritation, and others.

Before reading There are lots of activities you can do before students read a text to help enhance their comprehension, such as ones that activate the students’ schemata or background knowledge, arouse their interest in the topic or prepare them linguistically. 1. Before Ss read a text, choose four topics that relate to the text that would be useful for Ss to think about before reading. Take a large piece of paper and divide it into four triangles by drawing diagonal lines from opposite corners. Four students sit around the piece of paper and are given a time limit e.g. one minute. 2. Draw a horizontal line on the board. The teacher says topics or ideas that relate to the text. 3. Alternatively you could show students a few key words from the text, headings and accompanying visuals and they guess their relevance in the text. 4. 5. A: Scan Reading 1. 2.

Astounding colorized photos reveal the faces and fashions of Ellis Island immigrants These photographs show a tiny handful of the more than 12 million immigrants who entered the United States through the immigration station at New York's Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. The men and women portrayed are wearing their finest clothes, often their national dress, brought with them from their homeland to America. Around 5,000 immigrants entered the country every day at the height of Ellis Island's activity. The photographs were taken by Augustus Francis Sherman, the chief registry clerk at Ellis Island and an avid amateur photographer. In 1907, the portraits were published in National Geographic. It is estimated that today more than a third of all Americans have an ancestor who came through Ellis Island. These images have been colorized by Jordan Lloyd of Dynamichrome using extensive historical research to accurately and authentically reproduce the colors of each immigrant's distinctive and proud national fashions.

A history of global living conditions in 5 charts - Our World In Data This is the introduction to Our World in Data – the web publication that shows how global living conditions are changing. This text was previously titled "A history of global living conditions in 5 charts". A recent survey asked “All things considered, do you think the world is getting better or worse, or neither getting better nor worse?”. What is the evidence that we need to consider when answering this question? I. To see where we are coming from we must go far back in time. 30 or even 50 years are not enough. Take a longer perspective and it becomes very clear that the world is not static at all. To avoid portraying the world in a static way – the North always much richer than the South – we have to start 200 years ago before the time when living conditions really changed dramatically. Researchers measure extreme poverty as living with less than 1.90$ per day. The first chart shows the estimates for the share of the world population living in extreme poverty. II. III. IV. V. VI.

Evidence Explained | QuickLesson 20: Research Reports for Research Success Elizabeth Shown Mills The research process has three basic steps: preparation, performance, and reporting. If we use database management software or spread sheets, we add a fourth: data entry. In the popular mindset, Steps 2 and 4 get all the hype. News flash, everyone! It is those neglected Steps 1 and 3 that determine our success long-term. In a soundly executed project, a block of research begins when we have defined an objective—not when we have a few spare minutes to spend surfing the web. How do we begin our project? Successful research is a carefully planned, carefully targeted, and systematically executed effort. Step 1: Preparation Each new project—or each new effort within an ongoing project—should begin with (a) an analytical review of what we have; and (b) the development of a research plan. Here in the preparation stage, we create the first two elements of our research report. Background data Research Plan Step 2: Execution Findings Step 3: Reporting Step 4: Data entry? Why? 1. 2.
Explicit cookie consent MOST lovers of Chinese martial arts take the magical aspects of kung fu, as demonstrated by the flying fighters of legend and film, with a pinch of salt. But Wei Lei built his career in China on a claim that his mastery of tai chi, a branch of kung fu, had given him supernatural power. In a programme about kung fu that was broadcast on state television in 2015, Mr Wei demonstrated that he could keep a dove standing on his hand with an invisible force-field and smash the inside of a watermelon without damaging its rind. The broadcaster itself appeared to be among the credulous. There were many sceptics, too. A video of the clash spread rapidly online. But many netizens accused Mr Xu of trying to besmirch the country’s ancient fighting techniques: how, they asked, could a single fight prove anything? Some kung-fu fighters have expressed willingness to take up Mr Xu’s challenge. The authorities appear eager to put an end to the debate.
slow-and-low dry rub oven chicken – smitten kitchen Five years ago, I fell in love with dry-rub barbecue. Prior to the summer of 2008, I naively believed that the only way to make ribs deliciously on the grill was to mop them with copious amounts of a wet, tomato-based barbecue sauce. I know, I know, silly Deb, but what can you really expect from a Yankee? Under my friend Molly’s tutelage, I learned the error of my ways. The thing is, no matter how unappealing the word “dry” may sound against meat of any sort, the results are anything but. While a wet sauce just wants to roll or evaporate off your meat as it cooks, the dry rub spices adhere themselves to it, almost crusting in the meltingly tender meat within as it cooks slow-and-low over a the grill. (And if we are being completely honest, sometimes when they are. Now that all of the serious barbecue folk have left the room, I have got to tell you what I did with these same principles (dry rub, oven-style, no shame) last week: I made chicken.
