Tips To Have Students Ask Better Questions

Fiche Types de plans Les types de plan 1- Mise en garde 1.1 Si des plans-types peuvent être proposés comme modèles, en règle générale aucun ne s'applique de manière mécanique aux situations concrètes que vous pouvez rencontrer : il convient de les adapter au cas par cas, en fonction de la stratégie discursive que vous désirez mettre en œuvre. Il est d'ailleurs souvent nécessaire de croiser plusieurs plans-types pour parvenir à un résultat satisfaisant. Autrement dit, le plan n'est pas du domaine du prêt-à-porter, mais du sur-mesure. 1.2 La détermination du nombre de parties n'est pas non plus automatique, même si l'université continue souvent de demander un plan en deux parties (en droit, par exemple) ou en trois (en lettres). 2- Un plan adapté à chaque situation 2.1 Le plan pour informer * Le plan additif C'est le plus simple, mais aussi le plus fastidieux s'il ne se combine pas avec d'autres types de structure. * Le plan chronologique Il décrit, informe ou analyse en suivant l'évolution temporelle.

Teaching Channel It’s time to kick off our summer playlists and this week we’re offering you a series of videos that will help you to see what it actually looks like to teach nonfiction. For so many of us, wrapping our heads around this focus of the Common Core State Standards can feel enigmatic. But once you see it in action, I know you’ll gain confidence in how this can look in your classroom too. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working with a lot of teachers during professional learning times, with an emphasis on this very topic: making nonfiction more clear. Context. Analyzing Texts: Overview of a Lesson Series You can start with the overview video and then move on to the three separate lessons that provide a detailed look at Ms. Analyzing Texts: Brainstorming Before Writing Analyzing Texts: Putting Thoughts on Paper Analyzing Texts: Text Talk Time Whether you’re an ELA teacher or using nonfiction in whatever discipline you teach, Ms. Reading Like a Historian: Contextualization

Subtext – Engage Readers and Deepen Understanding The next session I am attending is about Subtext, a tool I have been wanting to learn and explore. Check out their presentation materials here. “Subtext is a free iPad app that allows classroom groups to exchange ideas in the pages of digital texts. You can also layer in enrichment materials, assignments and quizzes—opening up almost limitless opportunities to engage students and foster analysis and writing skills.” Subtext allows students to engage deeper with reading material both individually as well as collaboratively. Subtext allows you to personalize your reading experiences in the same way we see with other tools (change font size, highlight and tag, use a dictionary) but it also allows broader application – access your Google Docs, Search Google and copy to your Drive, etc. Finding content is more flexible using Subtext (Using digital books and content) as well as through tools like Newsela (that you can use to tweak levels of reading). There are different ways to use subtext:

5 Ways to Help Your Students Become Better Questioners The humble question is an indispensable tool: the spade that helps us dig for truth, or the flashlight that illuminates surrounding darkness. Questioning helps us learn, explore the unknown, and adapt to change. That makes it a most precious “app” today, in a world where everything is changing and so much is unknown. And yet, we don’t seem to value questioning as much as we should. To change that is easier said than done. How to Encourage Questioning 1. Asking a question can be a scary step into the void. 2. This is a tough one. 3. Part of the appeal of “questions-only” exercises is that there’s an element of play involved, as in: Can you turn that answer/statement into a question? 4. Obviously, we must praise and celebrate the questions that are asked -- and not only the on-target, penetrating ones, but also the more expansive, sometimes-offbeat ones (I found that seemingly “crazy questions” sometimes result in the biggest breakthroughs). 5.

Notetaking Apps - a comparison of some popular ones Notetaking apps are a great way to get organized and keep track of everything electronically. There are a lot of different ones out there, so I thought I would go through some of the more popular ones and list some of the features they have. Click on the links for more information on each one also. 1. Evernote - this is the note taking app that I use the most. It is free, available on all platforms (web, Mac, iOS, Windows, Android, webOS, and more), easy to use, full featured and high quality. 2. 3. 5. 6. Choice Literacy - Articles & Videos - Full Article As children walk over the threshold into the school each morning, they are greeted by Jason with a smile. Next to him is a dry erase board and easel. There is a new handwritten message on it from Jason, cataloging simple things like the day of the week, an upcoming event, or a reason for the school community to celebrate. Just as important, students are invited to start the day reflecting on their literacy with a question or prompt at the end of the board, with space to write about it so that their ideas can be read by other children as they enter the school. "It took awhile for students to become comfortable writing in that blank space on the message board, especially since the question changes every day," Jason explained to me later. These two girls are responding to the day's prompt: I admire the character ______ because _______. The concept of "first fruits" is powerful for me. I'm glad you're here. Important things are often written down. One other first fruit message was potent.

4 Questioning Strategies For Effective & Thoughtful Teaching - 4 Questioning Strategies For Effective & Thoughtful Teaching by Paul Moss This is the first article in a series of 4 discussing strategies to assist in becoming a better teacher. Questioning can be an enormously powerful weapon in the teacher’s arsenal, but can be equally as ineffective if not applied with diligence. There are numerous excellent discussions to be found on effective questioning, especially in relation to the types of questions to ask, but I decided to create a visual representation that I could pin up on my wall of what I thought were the cornerstones of effective questioning. 1. The first quadrant ‘Agree Build Challenge’: is very effective in deepening thoughts, as students are asked to either agree with another student’s response and justify their choice, or build on it, or disagree with it and state why, with an opposing view. 2. The 2nd quadrant is ‘Cold Calling’. 3. But waiting serves many purposes: 4. The final quadrant is a must in any classroom.

Scaffolding Academic Writing to Meet CCSS As an English teacher, you'd have to be living under a rock not to know that the Common Core Standards require students to do a lot of close reading and text analysis supported by evidence from those texts in their writing. As an English teacher I have said, "Include evidence in your essay." more often than the Math teacher down the hall has said, "Show your work." Until recently, getting students to actually include text evidence in their academic writing was practically a moon shot. How Evidence Gathering Works: We have been reading Emerson, Thoreau, Gandhi and Dr. In itself this was a good way to have students review texts we had read over a period of weeks, but I knew the results of their efforts would soon be even more helpful to them. As I modeled writing my own version of the essay, I showed students how I would go to the spreadsheet and select a piece of evidence that supported the point I was trying to make. The results are stunning.

Online - Fifty Writing Tools At times, it helps to think of writing as carpentry. That way, writers and editors can work from a plan and use tools stored on their workbench. You can borrow a writing tool at any time. And here's a secret: Unlike hammers, chisels, and rakes, writing tools never have to be returned. They can be cleaned, sharpened, and passed on. Each week, for the next 50, I will describe a writing tool that has been useful to me. I have described most of these tools in earlier lists, first of 20 and then 30. As you study and discuss these, please remember: These are tools and not rules. My friend Tom French, who won a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing, told me he liked my tool list because it covered writing from the "sub-atomic to the metaphysical level." With that as both introduction and promise, let us begin. {*style:<a href='

Teaching Kids to Move Beyond One-Word Questions “Does anyone have any questions?” It’s the dreaded question of early childhood educators everywhere. This can-of-worms question often leads to non sequitur statements that range from “I like your pants” to long-winded stories that start with “Once my grandma gave me a . . .” These responses often resemble anything but a question. To avoid these tangents, teachers can turn the question “Does anyone have any questions?” What’s a Dollar Question? According to an anecdote from my parents, as a young child I would always ask, “Why?” I shared this personal story with my kindergarten students, who were eager to learn how to ask dollar questions themselves. Dollar questions have four main features. Penny questions can, however, be changed into dollar questions. In my kindergarten class, we begin practicing with dollar questions during Feature Creature, an activity where students hone their question-asking skills while working to uncover the identity of a mystery animal.

Response: Best Ways to Prepare Our Students for CCSS in Language Arts - Classroom Q&A With Larry Ferlazzo (This is the first post in a two-part series on this topic) Mary Lou Baker asked: "How can we best prepare our students for the common core in language arts?" I have been no fan of the Common Core standards (see The Best Articles Sharing Concerns About Common Core Standards). However, one of the key lessons I learned in my nineteen year community organizing career was that, though we should always recognize the tension inherent in "the world as we'd like it to be" and "the world as it is," living in the former seldom leads to success in the latter. The Common Core is the reality for most of us, and I've begun collecting the most useful resources for implementing them. This two-part series will be contributing to that collection. Today's post will feature commentaries from educator/authors Christopher Lehman, Amy Benjamin and Ben Curran. Response From Christopher Lehman Breathe. The most essential piece of all of this, the reason you are here is simply this: your students. Breathe. 1.
