Adams Middle Schooll || Mass vs. Weight Poster || Students create a poster that emphasizes the differences between mass and Weight. || This year, I am going to have the students create these posters using a website called Glogster. Instead of using the standard paper/pencil method, I thought incorporating the laptops would increase student engagement and understanding. || Adams Middle School || Analyzing a text/character || Students will respond in writing to questions that involve a story's theme and/or main characters. Students will select sentence starters to discuss thoughts and opinions about the weekly selection and to find connections between the selection and daily life. || After learning how to use Moodle in a whole class practice session, students will visit a class Moodle site weekly during reading centers to respond to teacher-posted questions. Teachers will read and respond to student posts. Eventually, students will begin responding to other student posts. || Adams Middle School || Identifying character traits || Students will choose a main character from one of the stories we have read in the unit and complete a character map. On the character map you will take quotations from the story and identify the character trait that is revealed. || The students will create a Character Analysis Wordle on the laptops. They are to have the character's name, story title and at least 10 character traits and two quotes from the story to create the wordle. We will print these and display them in the room. ||
