WARMUP: Check Competency Dashboard to decide if you’re doing ELA 1: Reading or ELA 6: Discussion today.

  1. If you have one done, and one with an M, do the M.

  2. If you have no Ms, but you have a blank, do the blank.

  3. If you have both filled in, but one is much lower (a 9 vs a 6) do the low one.

  4. If they’re about equal do Discussion, that one is harder to make up.

  5. If you’re stuck, chat @ me and I’ll help.

All work is under Makeups in Task Dashboard. THUG Final Discussion or ELA 1 Rose Makeup.

Independent Reading

Posted by Brad Robert in English 2: 6 on

If you’re done your STAR test, and your work from last week, you’re going to start independent reading today.

We are focusing on the beginning of a story today. If you are already reading something, you may either go back and reread the beginning, or start something new.

Here is a list of places to find something to read, but feel free to pick something else. You can do a regular book, a comic, an audio book, whatever works for you. Pick something YOU like.

Focus on what the creator does in the beginning to introduce the story, and get you interested in it. We’ll be starting our reading journal (graded) near the end of class.

Brad 3 Ys of Advisory

Posted by Brad Robert in Advisory: 10 on

Why does advisory matter to me?

Advisory is one of the areas I think I best show my strengths as a teacher. For the last three years, we have always been one of the most involved and active groups. We’ve done contests, played games with other advisories, run our own mindfulness activities, and gotten cool nicknames.

Why does advisory matter to my students and other teachers?

My advisees know that Mr. Brad gets things done. I try to make sure they’re some of the best informed students in the school about upcoming events, etc. I hope they can use this information to help their friends with course selection, etc. We often work with other teachers to do inter-advisory activities.

How does advisory impact the future?

I hope that my advisory leaves my students well prepared for life after high school in college or their jobs. We practice things like sending emails that they’ll have to use some day. For me personally, most schools don’t use advisory. If I move to another school someday, I think the principal will be really impressed if I tell them about the things we’ve done. Building relationships and teaching kids to be independent and reflective sounds like the kind of thing you say in a teacher interview.
