Friday Agenda: Bell Ringer​ Remind App Grammar to Go Overview Strategies SSR Exit Slip​

Remind App: The only time you will be allowed to use your phone! Don’t make me regret it. Text @ccrdhs to 81010 By doing this, I will be able to remind you about important dates coming up and assignment due dates etc. Once finished, put phone away

Requirements: Grammar To Go Through-out the course, you will teach one aspect of grammar. I will begin with the basic Parts of speech. You will be given days in class to work on your G2G lesson, but will also need to work on it at home. You will pick 3 topics you are interested in learning more about by Friday, and I will assign you at least one. Keep in mind the date you will present; being late will jeopardize your grade as well as the class dynamics. Do not pick a topic you know you will not be able to present! Yes, this sounds daunting, but I will help you along the way.

Grammar to Go Lesson Your lesson will consist of the following: Intro to topic A quick pre-assessment (bell ringer) Rules and examples of topic Teach the topic to class A worksheet for the class to follow along with, or work on An activity or game to help demonstrate/practice the topic A visual (PowerPoint, podcast, infographic, Prezi, etc) A final assessment to prove students learned the topic (this could be a quiz or a worksheet they complete for homework, or an exit slip) You decide if it goes in the gradebook Timed: at least 15 minutes, no longer than 30!

At Quarter End: You can either test out of CCR12 by: Passing the KYOTE test (see Mrs. Newsome to sign up) You can take it as early as Sept 27th Hitting benchmarks on the ACT (see Mrs. Newsome to sign up) If you are unable to test out, you will repeat the Reading and English practices

Let’s Brain Storm There are 18 ‘strategies’ to help you with the Reading ACT. Each one of you will take one of them and give a quick summary. The number you will summarize is at the top of your packet. Read it and then get a white piece of paper and put the following on it: Title of strategy Short Summary Example An easy way to remember the strategy You will share your strategy when the timer goes off.
