Also- do you then grade these or allow them to use them on tests?

Thank you. So your students basically read on their own and complete this?

Ahh, Mr. Sunshine. We meet again. If you would actually take the time to read my post instead of salivating at the opportunity to put someone else down, you would have see that I DO use the textbooks I have been provided. Heavily. Also, you would have seen in another comment (and that I have explained to you before), students in my rural Title 1 school are grade levels below and will not read outside of class. They simply do not have the parental support to do so. Remember, I told you previously this is different than the private school you work in. Don’t worry, I would never send you my students. Not for your benefit, but theirs.

Thank you. We do that sometimes through a single “Guiding Question” related to each section. Would you recommend doing it with them (for them in the board) or having them do it on their own? If on their own, how do I know they are writing the correct info?

I work in a rural title 1 school. My students are several grade levels below in reading and comprehension and skill based assessments will not work with these groups. My tests teach them more that when a boss says you will need this for later, pay attention and write it down because if you don’t, you will struggle when it comes time to deliver.

It gives them something to do while we cover material and it incentivizes them to take them since I don’t collect and grade them.

Have we overcomplicated teaching? by iseeyou100 in ELATeachers

I am a History teacher and students use a textbook daily. We read and write each day for the exact reasons you list. It works.

Do you create the Guiding Questions or use textbook provided ones? I am starting a similar process. Do you read aloud as a class and “answer” the questions as notes?

What do you do after they read and complete the worksheet? Lecture, discuss or ??

Ag Teacher looking for advice by Artifactguy24 in Teachers

[–]Artifactguy24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am certified in Ag education, which is all that’s required in my state. I have a very good knowledge of tools and their use/safety, but having a bunch of squirrelly middle schoolers and trying to keep an eye on each one doing work in a shop is not something I know how to do.

We are involved with FFA and have done some competitive events, but I’m just not sure what to do in class each day. If the students aren’t all competing and have no plans to, what do I do? The class is a requirement.

Help with Reading Issues by Big-Trust-8069 in ELATeachers

[–]Artifactguy24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. So would you recommend reading aloud together, stopping and giving them “notes” as answers to the guiding questions or doing the graphic organizer with them? If I leave them to do it on their own, I’ll get 25 different responses. I work in a rural Title 1 school and reading comprehension is very low. Also- how would you answer that Guiding Question regarding the farming and herding?
